Amighini is an absolute gem! I don’t know what I would have done with out them this year! I’ve been restoring the facade of my 1880s Brooklyn row house and their gorgeous selection of doors as well as their kind, creative and generous help was transformational! I can’t recommend them enough. Noella and Mariano as well as all of their team are creatively inspired, wildly committed to their work and will help you find the most amazing, unique, timeless and historical elements for your home. Go visit their showroom and work shop! They have tile, wrought iron, stain glass, corbels, mirrors, banisters, a stunning selection of door hardware and all kinds of things to buy, incorporate and enjoy. My story is this: My family and I have lived in an aluminium sided Greenpoint row house for about fifteen years. I’ve wanted to restore the facade to its original, rather decorative , wooden row house form ever since we bought the house. What a long wait! The year finally arrived. With a 1938 tax photo in hand, illuminating what the house once was, I worked closely with some amazing carpenters to re-create it with mostly modern materials. The essential elements of the restoration have been the removal of layers of aluminium, asphalt siding and crappy windows followed by the installation of all new siding elements, the restoration of a decorative cornice, new windows, new window trim, new awning and - most deliciously, installing a new set of front doors. All ‘new’ elements needed to look and feel like our what the house originally looked like before mid-20th century facade alterations denuded it of all decorative beauty. The door, however, had to be historic. I didn’t want something new, but rather something made by hand, with the feeling of time, stained glass, curved shapes, a historically appropriate scale - all that doors used to be. Amhigini had exactly what my house has needed! I saw a set of doors on their website which had the most perfect dimensions, look, stain glass and unusual shape. Mariano and Noella helped me with all the details that included stripping all the old paint off the door, cleaning and restoring the stain glass and installing safety glass over one side. They also installed lovely handles and a lock. The doors are incredibly beautiful. I was so inspired with their work that I even decided to buy a second set of doors that were salvaged from the same Argentinean house to recreate the vestibule. I don’t have photos to post yet, but as soon as the painting and installation is done I will add them to this review. By all means, if you have even the most remote bit of curiosity about how real historic salvaged architectural elements might look in or on your house, go to at the showroom! Noella and Mariano are the best!

These guys are amazing, both Noelle and Mariano helped us get an amazing door for our new project in Brooklyn. Highly highly recommend them.

I determined that salvaged encaustic tiles were the ideal material for the hearth I was building in our 1920's catskill cottage. I hit the 8x8 tiles I bought with 60 grit paper with a random orbital sander, and used a quality stone sealer on top. I am so happy I came here - it's worth the trip just to take a look at all the beautiful inventory.

Exceptional customer service - I purchased several items over a year ago, and the service / support was impeccable. I recently had an issue with a door handle and the owner sent out her team to my home at no cost and repaired a broken piece. I would recommend, 10/10!

UPDATE!!! After about a year Amighini is still providing the best after sale service. I’ve had minor issues with the doors but their best guy Mariano always shows up within the week to investigate. Noelia and her team over at Amighini architectural did an AMAZING job with my buildings new doors. I was very happy from the customer service to the attention to detail in their work. They kept me in the loop every step of the way and even coordinated with our intercom vendors who were also working on the doors at the same time. I have to give a shout out to Mariano who was in charge of installation. I said it before but his attention to detail was truly outstanding. You can tell he really cares about the product that is delivered.Don’t get me wrong, the project came with a heavy price tag, but I personally think that the work speaks for itself.

I purchased a beautifully restored antique door from Amighini 14 years ago and started having issues with the lockset. I removed the lock and brought it in to have Mariano look at it. He repaired the lock in 15 minutes and it is working like brand new. Great service.
