Dustin M. FERRIS
Restoration Artist
The original founder of the Art & Antique Restorations, my grandfather Maurice, was diagnosed with macular degeneration; in only a few years time, he knew his eyesight would be gone. In an effort to carry on the work started decades ago, he began to train me in depth by 2014. Years later, I am proud to expand the business to Dallas, Texas and carry on the work of restoring magnificent works of priceless value.
I’ve always been interested and talented at art, whether it be at home, or in collegiate level courses. However, being able to learn and practice the specific craft of art and antique restoration started by my grandfather carries a deep and loving weight in my life.

“What is considered art worth repairing?”
Most people think “art” is limited to what certain critics or manufacturers have deemed worth historic or monetary value. The truth of the matter however is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder! That’s why we believe any item of sentimental or nostalgic value deserves a chance to be restored to its original glamour, so that the memory of a lost loved one lives on in your home. Whether it be vintage collectibles, porcelain repair, ceramic repair, acrylic paintings restoration, glass repair, crystal repair, watercolor repair, wood refinishing, custom furniture/ antique furniture repair , trinkets or odd item repair, its value is limitless to you- and to us right here in Dallas, Texas.
