Every piece has a function and story worth preserving.
Exceptional
Craftsmanship
Minneapolis-based Franklin & Irving Repair Shop was founded by husband and wife team Pamela Diamond and Michael Brenner. What started as a hobby for an arts marketing and publishing professional turned into a local service business dedicated to artfully upcycling one-of-a-kind heirlooms. From vintage furniture and paintings, ceramics, framing, and upholstery repairs, we approach every project as a unique opportunity to apply our design and technical skills.
Testimonials
“Pam and Mike did an outstanding job up cycling the old piano bench I work on daily to champion equity and inclusion across race, class and culture. Imagine my surprise when I saw the personal story it told utilizing imagery of all the things I love and care deeply about. It’s a work of art that I will treasure forever .”
— Marnita
“I’m so happy with the painting Pam restored. As one of my dad’s prized possessions that was rapidly disintegrating , I was thrilled to see it painstakingly restored and secure from further damage.”
