As with many workshops in Florence, the Castorina's original occupation was the restoration of antique furnishings, dating from 1500 to 1900s.

As time went by, the Castorina's workshop gradually broadened its sphere of activity, which now ranges from the making of identical antique copies to the production of customised furnishings and bookcases.

The workshop also provides materials and decorations for artisans in the neighbourhood, as well as those requested by architects and interior designers.
