The furniture shows the normal and fascinating signs of the time lived: they can be left as they are, fully valorizando the liveliness of the line, authenticity, and the decades-long history of the materials, or can magnificently undergo a light and targeted conservation-restoration intervention for those who desire an impeccable showroom finish. There are normal signs of use that in no way compromise the beauty or structural integrity of the pieces (please carefully review all attached detailed photographs).
