Pick Up the Pieces

History

Has one of your treasured possessions such as a porcelain figurine, a crystal vase, or an oil painting ever been accidentally damaged? These items are often thrown away because most of us are not aware that the piece can be restored to its original beauty. If one of your treasures is damaged, there is no reason to fret, because one of the nation's largest, privately owned, art and collectible restoration company is located right here in Orange County! Pick Up the Pieces repairs the most severely damaged pieces, even when large parts are missing. Almost all repairs are invisible! Our work is guaranteed! Pick Up the Pieces has been in business since 1956 and it serves the general public, retailers, the insurance industry, moving industry, cleaning industry, and collector's societies. John D. Foster, PUP Founder, was an inventor, a chemist, and artist, and he carved his niche in the art world by combining his love for art with chemistry.
