Nadia Louyer de Villernay believes in the value of craftsmanship- both the craftsmanship of the pieces she restores, as well as the techniques she uses to restore the pieces to their original condition. In her own words:

“ I believe that the soul of an object is more than the sum of its parts. Its original craftsmanship, the materials of construction, the information inherent to its fabrication are all integral to its nature. But the personality of an object develops through time. And these developments must be respected, not erased.”
