FR Review:
Anatoli Lapushner has been in the furniture repair and restoration business for most of his life, having studied inlays, carving and design at art school in his native Russia. Insiders say Lapushner has a unique niche restoring antique globes, and also repairs upholstery. In fact, he’s comfortable with just about any material except metal and glass. Established in 1987, his firm has six full-time employees who were all trained by Lapushner himself. All work is done in his 6,500-square-foot workshop in Brooklyn.
Many high-end decorators, dealers and private collectors rely on Lapushner’s “incredible skill,” but given his impossibly busy schedule, Lapushner is reluctant to take on new clients. The select few he chooses to work with rave about his work and come back year after year. The firm’s work has been featured in The New York Times, New York and Elle Decor.
Representative Client Comments:
“I give him carte blanche. I trust him completely.” “Brusque phone manner.” “Anatoli refused to come visit my Park Avenue triplex to see a piece I wanted restored. He said I had to bring it to his workroom–a twelve-foot armoire.” “He is a reliable professional. Once he is on your team, you do not need anyone else.” “Anatoli has a personality that is not for the faint of heart.” “What you see is what you get. His personality is raw and his work is exquisite.” “I give him a piece that is a wreck and it comes back to me a work of art again.”
