A relatively inexpensive but family-sentimental ceramic ballerina was smashed into tiny bits by the male brat-cat of the house. A full search of Fresno resulted in repair rejection, seemingly based on detail required, monetary value of the piece or lack of necessary expertise. Then came Ryan and The Finishing Touch. Honest from the first call through the entire process about cost (likely more than the piece), time required (not a short period project) and expected result (likely close to original al but no promises). So the broken ballerina and all her bits were brought over and Ryan undertook restoration.
The piece was picked-up today and - wow. It is perfectly restored to its original beauty and amazingly so. Ryan actually pieced together every little chip, masterfully filing any gaps and matching even the paint to its original sentimental state.
If you have any piece worth saving Ryan and The Finishing Touch is your destination. Any family memory is worth the price of restoring it. Ryan’s and TFT’s expertise is worth every reasonable charge as this is art and restoration at its finest.
