“Controvena restauro ligneo” is a workshop in Florence, specialized in the restoration of antique furniture and furnishing accessories.

Our experience and qualification allow us to operate in full compliance with the technical and aesthetic specifications of the historical periods to which the object to be treated belongs, both in reproducing missing elements and in the reconstruction of  surfaces.

Among the services avaible at the laboratory, in addition to complete or partial reconstructions of the specimens,it is possible to request various polishing works, structural consolidation and disinfection ‘anti-tarlo’ treatsments, to restore its ancient splendour to any type of wood without damaging it in any way.

Restoration is not a “simple” maintenance procedure to put back in order furniture structures that were in a particular state of decay but a precious work of recovery of objects that posses an inestimable value, and it is starting from this though that we have created our creation, where restoration merges with technology giving life to objects with a unique and original design.
