Officina Antiquaria has an in-house workshop in Milan specialising in the conservation and restoration of antique and 20th-century furniture. Services also include gilding and the restoration of antique frames, oil paintings and tempera works.
Luca Vitali has worked in furniture restoration since 1991. His training includes a diploma in Applied Arts from Sotheby’s in London and a qualification in Italian furniture appraisal, from the 16th century to Neoclassicism, from the Collegio Lombardo. His experience ranges from Renaissance furniture to 20th-century design.
Each piece is assessed according to its materials, construction and state of conservation, with particular care for the original surfaces and patina. For an initial assessment, photographs, dimensions and a brief description of the required work may be submitted.
