Restoring an antique wardrobe is not just a technical job, but an art requiring care, experience and respect for the history of the piece of furniture. Each piece brings with it a unique charm, made of precious materials, handcrafted details and a beauty that is kept alive over time. Thanks to our in-house workshop, we are able to restore each piece of furniture to its former glory, preparing it for a new life before delivery to the customer.

The restoration of an antique wardrobe always starts with a thorough assessment. It is important to understand the history and value of the furniture: what era it comes from, what materials were used, what damage it may have suffered over the years. A piece of furniture such as this pretty lacquered and painted wardrobe tells us so much not only through its shapes, but also through its colours and decorations, which can be brought back to life with careful intervention

Before any structural intervention, it is essential to clean the cabinet. This apparently simple step is, however, very delicate: it requires specific products that remove impurities without damaging the original patina, the one that gives the wood its lived-in character. Each step is designed to respect the history of the furniture and enhance the authentic beauty of a period piece.

It is often the case that an antique wardrobe shows structural damage, such as unstable panels, worn hinges or minor defects due to time. In these cases, repairs are carried out using materials and techniques compatible with the original, so as not to alter the style of the furniture. Think, for instance, of how careful work can transform a Louis XVI chest of drawers in walnut, restoring solidity and functionality without affecting its elegance.

The final stage of the restoration concerns the finishing touches. This is where the furniture comes back to life: with the application of natural waxes or specific oils, the wood regains its warmth, and a well-executed polish gives it brilliance without betraying its period character. Even more modern furniture, such as this particular 1950s black lacquered chest of drawers, can benefit greatly from a finishing job that enhances its personality.

What makes our approach unique is our in-house workshop, where each piece of furniture is carefully restored by experienced craftsmen before being delivered. It is a process that not only guarantees an impeccable result, but also allows the buyer to have a truly special piece, ready to embellish any room. Furthermore, we offer free delivery throughout Italy, excluding the islands, so that the purchase is a pleasant and carefree experience.
