"I am offering an enthusiastic recommendation for Miguel Saco as an expert restorer and conservator of antique and fine furniture.

Mr. Saco was highly recommended to our firm by an associate dealer. At the time we had a masterpiece which required the most delicate restoration. The table had suffered neglect. The veneered rays of the top had lifted and were bent out of shape. An old decayed varnish had obscured the fine crotch veneer and sections of the crossbanding and inlay were missing.

Mr. Saco miraculously reset the veneer, conservatively lifted the varnish preserving the original patina and replaced the missing elements. The table is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The restoration was completed in less than a month which was impressive.

Since that initial contact, we have given some of our most sensitive work to Mr. Saco. We find him highly competent, cooperative and of the highest integrity."

"If the French Art Deco classics by Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann,Jean-Michel Frank, and Jean Dunand look particularly sumptuous at New York's DeLorenzo Gallery, it's thanks in part to Miguel Saco's expert touch. Saco, who trained in Spain, is equally adept at restoring nineteenth-century American designs."

"Whereas Restoration is often badly done and destroys the originality and value of antique furniture, in the hands of Miguel Saco and his staff, Conservation and Restoration reach new levels of Excellence, preserving the originality and enhancing the natural beauty of important pieces of antique furniture"

"My gallery specializes in museum-quality French Art Deco furniture. Many of the veneers used for this type of furniture come from exotic woods that are rare or no longer in use. Restoring this type of furniture is a highly specialized field in which Mr. Saco truly excels. We frequently engage the restoration and conservation services of Mr. Saco, who is extremely knowledgeable about working with materials from the Art Deco period.

I enthusiastically endorse Miguel Saco without any reservation whatsoever. He is a talented and meticulous craftsman whose professionalism and personal integrity are beyond reproach."

"Miguel Saco, with a staff of skilled artisans, is renowned for their marquetry, veneer repair and French polishing. Their furniture restoration is superlative and, indeed, unrivaled."
