“Thomas Heller performed a small miracle on an important 18th century desk-and-bookcase at the Biggs Museum. He researched interesting solutions, explained the process in generous detail and gave memorable presentations of the conservation progress to the Museum’s Board of Trustees and Membership. ”
“Dawn - The September meeting was fantastic —- due to you!!! Jack Benz, great-great grandson of Capt. Driver gave a great program. We followed with the unveiling of the restored artifact! Sam & Jack did the unveiling. Everyone gasped! We are so honored to know you and it’s a great privilege to have you restore the piece of the “Captain Driver Old Glory Flag.” Thank you, thank you, thank you! With Much Appreciation—- Sarah Ford, & Old Glory Board & Chapter”
“It’s hard to limit my positive appraisal of Tom to just three attributes [great results, personable, expert], as he has never disappointed me in any aspect of his performance. Tom was responsible for conserving many pieces of furniture owned by Benjamin Franklin and used in the Franklin 300th birthday traveling exhibition. Testimony to his work is the fact that many of these important pieces have traveled for much of six years with no damage, thanks to the care that Tom took in the first place to make sure these items were stable. I have also had Tom work for me personally, and he gave as much effort to these relatively unimportant pieces as he did for priceless antiques.”
“Tom has worked for the Wagner Free Institute of Science on many furniture conservation projects — large and small — and his work is superb. He is a true professional, completes work on time and provides excellent documentation before, during and after the project. He is also wonderful to work with!”
