depending on what materials (wood, cloth, leather, cardboard ..) can be treated in different ways: you can upholstering, painting, or a good restoration restore its original appearance.

  • The outside was lined with fabric and wood had reinforcements. Inside was papered.
  • As the fabric was in poor condition, we decided to remove it, and under it appeared a wooden and cardboard. We also remove all paper from the interior.

Trunks moisture stains





This picture serves as an example to see how some pieces of wood with a wax finish, with white spots present time, due to being exposed to moisture for long periods.
