Discovering the history of beloved antiques, family heirlooms and art pieces is an eye-opening experience. Boston is home to Manzi Appraisers & Restoration, a unique firm specializing in appraisals, restorations and global online valuations, among other in-demand services. What sets this do-it-all firm apart is its heart and genuine care for each client, their items and their backstories.
Founded by David Manzi in 2021, history is at the forefront of this firm. Manzi has long been fascinated by history, especially American history, and the exceptional stories that emerge from each period. After nearly 20 years in the appraisal industry, Manzi opened his own firm amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While this added difficulties, “my love for what we do trumped all fears,” explains Manzi. Since its opening, Manzi and his knowledgeable team have expanded their services from just appraisals to restorations of art, furniture and decorative objects, as well as transporting and storing items and providing global online valuations.

Manzi Appraisers & Restoration is a leading innovator in the industry with its online valuation program, allowing clients and customers from around the globe to connect and find rare items. It’s also quickly grown to become a go-to source for collectors, art dealers, museums and high net-worth clientele thanks to its devotion to quality and providing expertise.
Currently, Manzi and his team are working on restoring four 17th-century French cherub angels that adorn the Old North Church in Boston. Initially acquired by Captain Thomas James Gruchy, these angels are the oldest elements in this historic church. Come December, Manzi is excited to unveil the results to the city.
For Manzi, the best part of this business is hearing his clients’ stories about their items, uncovering the history and restoring it to a gleaming state. “Seeing our customers’ faces after they see the final results is priceless,” says Manzi. With each item, he ensures it is cared for just as he would care for his own.

What distinguishes this firm is its passion for its clients. “I would prefer to sit and listen to our customers for hours on their items. Most companies want to go in, look, take a photo, and leave. I prefer to engage in conversations with our customers,” says Manzi. “Whether a customer has a priceless painting, such as a Picasso, or a painting made by their grandchild in elementary school, to me, it is all ‘high-end’ if the customer loves it.”
Clients range from Bostonians, New Englanders, A-list celebrities, prominent athletes, high net-worth business and political leaders and shoppers worldwide.

Manzi Home Services also offers luxury packing and moving services that protect, transport and install art pieces from space to space.
