Rumi Antiques and Restoration

Richard is amazing! I have an old chair that had some areas w significant damage and Richard was very upfront about what could be done, and clear about cost.. along with what was most practical given the piece. I am so, so happy w the outcome!!Highly recommend!! Thanks again :)

One of the finest antique restorers you will ever find. His knowledge of how pieces were originally constructed and finished spans the centuries. He was taught by the masters and can apply their techniques without fault. Our family were thrilled with the restoration work.

Absolutely the finest restorer of period furniture, in the Toronto area. Richard Rumi has a wonderful eye for detail along with a encyclopedic knowledge of period furniture. His workmanship is superb and the result is always a joy to behold.

Our large Ibizan Hound collided with a Georgian table and dislodged a leg. Worse still, the break was not clean; the veneer was left hanging in shards. Enter Richard Rumi who performed an absolutely flawless restoration, leaving no sign of the break. Now the table looks like new after Richard waxed it to perfection. It was a pleasure to do business with you Richard. Thanks again. Angus and Barbara Somerville.

After connecting with approximately 18 different antique furniture repair specialists, Richard was the only one who knew the history behind my Chinese antique bar and how to restore it. I’ve had the bar for over 30 years in my family and it went through some extensive wear and tear.He managed to fix the piece and make it look completely brand new! No easy task as there was a lot of fine detailed paint work that he had to do by hand. He was beyond professional, kind and quick! I definitely will be returning to him!
