Expert Restoration of Iconic Knoll Marble Dining Tables by Stone Guys NY
Few furniture pieces carry the design legacy, prestige, and timeless appeal of an authentic Knoll marble table. From mid-century modern dining rooms to contemporary New York apartments, Knoll tables remain a symbol of refined taste and architectural integrity.
At Stone Guys NY, we specialize in the professional restoration of original Knoll marble dining tables, bringing back their original beauty while preserving their historical and material value.
Why Knoll Marble Tables Are Design Icons
Knoll furniture is deeply rooted in modernist design history. Many of its most famous marble pieces were created in collaboration with legendary designers such as Eero Saarinen and Florence Knoll, whose work defined elegance through simplicity, balance, and premium materials.
Some of the most sought-after Knoll marble pieces we restore include:
- Saarinen Knoll Dining Table
- Tulip Knoll Marble Table
- Florence Knoll Table Desk
These tables are not just furniture. They are investment design pieces, often passed down, collected, and featured in architectural publications.
Why Knoll Marble Tables Need Professional Restoration
The Truth About the Original Knoll Protective Coating
Most original Knoll marble tables were manufactured with a factory-applied protective coating designed to enhance shine and reduce staining. While effective initially, this coating is not permanent.Over time, it commonly develops:
- Coating peeling or flaking
- Coating cracking or clouding
- Yellowing or dull spots
- Uneven sheen and patchiness
- Trapped stains beneath the coating
Once the coating fails, the marble underneath becomes vulnerable to etching, scratches, moisture absorption, and discoloration.
At this stage, simple polishing does not work. The table requires a full professional restoration process, not a cosmetic touch-up.
Our Professional Knoll Marble Restoration Process
At Stone Guys NY, we follow a museum-grade, multi-step restoration protocol specifically tailored for high-end marble furniture.
1. Professional Coating Removal
We carefully remove the failing factory coating without damaging the original marble surface. This step requires controlled techniques and professional abrasives, not chemicals that can burn or weaken the stone.
2. Marble Repair Using Color-Matched Epoxy
Any pits, holes, chips, or natural voids in the marble are repaired using pro-grade epoxy resins, custom-tinted to match the original stone as closely as possible. This restores both strength and visual continuity.
3. Full-Surface Honing
We hone the entire marble surface using progressive diamond abrasives. This removes:
- Etching
- Scratches
- Uneven wear
- Residual coating marks
Honing also ensures the surface is perfectly flat and uniform, which is essential for a flawless final finish.
4. Precision Re-Polishing
The table is then re-polished to restore its natural depth, clarity, and smoothness. The finish can be adjusted to match the original Knoll aesthetic, from soft satin to high gloss.
5. Professional Marble Sealing
We apply a high-end penetrating marble sealer that protects against stains and moisture while allowing the stone to breathe. This step dramatically extends the life of the restoration.
