A LONG FAMILY TRADITION
Thanks to the skill of the great restoration master Mario Ponziani, from the late 19th century onwards this restoration workshop became the most prestigious in Florence. Here masterpieces from across Italy were restored everyday, studying and understanding the techniques used by the old masters.

THE ANCIENT ART OF RESTORATION
Over time, the ‘things’ that surround us acquire a value that cannot be measured in economic terms. This is the sentimental value of the objects and furniture in our homes, linked to memories and emotions. Maurizio Ponziani’s antiques laboratory restores period furniture with painting and varnishing techniques that respect the authenticity of every detail. Every task is performed with close attention to detail, professional skill, imagination and creativity.
