About Maison Marcell Upholstery

The Maison Marcell story begins with Marcel, a master upholsterer whose signature techniques shaped the studio’s identity for over 20 years. This deep well of knowledge was entrusted to the next generation, as Marcel mentored Anthony Villares’s father in the intricate skills of restoration and preservation. Today, Anthony leads the studio, carrying forward more than a decade of personal experience and a lifetime of inherited expertise. Our clients in Highland Mills, New City, and throughout the NY and NJ region are drawn to this legacy. They recognize the value of a studio where every repair is grounded in tradition and every decision is guided by respect for the original builder’s intent. The result is a rare continuity that ensures your heirlooms are cared for by artisans who understand their history and significance.

Maison Marcell Upholstery was founded on the belief that irreplaceable pieces deserve both technical precision and absolute discretion. Our mobile studio removes the risks and challenges of moving heavy or delicate furniture, allowing us to perform most services at your residence. Whether restoring woven cane seats, revitalizing a faded sofa, or installing custom window treatments, our process is designed for efficiency and peace of mind. Most projects are completed in a single day, minimizing disruption and ensuring that treasured items never leave your sight. We use only premium fabrics, high-density foams, and authentic materials, offering clients from Westchester to Saddle River a full range of services, from precise repairs to custom furniture builds. Our consultative process means every client receives clear options for preservation, repair, or renewal, always with the goal of honoring the original character and value of the piece.
