Tradition transformed into a living standard.
We are a team of conservators, restorers, and finishers whose craftsmanship has been refined over decades of work on historical pieces and bespoke commissions. Our hands carry a depth of knowledge—from delicate veneer work and luminous finishes to complex structural repairs—guided by patience, intuition, and respect for the objects entrusted to them.
The work that leaves this workshop will be owned, used, and treasured by future generations. The hands and hearts who make it are its protagonists.
Leadership
Timothy
PrincipalTimothy earned a Master of Music in classical piano performance from New York University. While deeply rooted in the scholarly and artistic traditions of the conservatory, he ultimately chose to pursue a more tactile path, apprenticing under a master piano technician and rebuilder to learn the full craft of historic instrument restoration at the bench.
In 2016 he founded Nuernberger Piano Company, dedicated to comprehensive rebuilding and conservation of fine instruments. Building on that foundation, he launched Nuernberger & Company in 2021, a boutique atelier specializing in rare, fully restored nineteenth- and early twentieth-century pianos offered with concierge-level service. The same rigor—historical research, material science, structural analysis, precision finishing, and tonal sensitivity—naturally extends to the conservation and reproduction of antique furniture, where complex veneers, period finishes, delicate marquetry, and structural joinery are approached with the same discipline, reversibility standards, and respect for original workmanship that guide his instrument restorations.
PrincipalPeter
Peter's path to furniture making began in ceramic sculpture, followed by a career in economics, including work in sovereign debt restructuring during the 2008 global financial crisis. That training in complex systems ultimately pulled him toward a more hands-on discipline. In 2013, he moved to New York to follow that instinct, earning a Master's in Architecture from Columbia University.
He went on to work with firms including Peter Pennoyer Architects in New York and Lacaton & Vassal in Paris, experiences that shaped his appreciation for the nuances of history and culture in everyday life, and for the processes behind the making of objects — exploring what it means to imbue an object with value.
His love of sculpture and architecture continues to inspire and inform his approach to furniture design and making. His respect for material and historical integrity converges with an understanding of modern techniques, bringing new life to an old craft.
