Special Remarks:

 Founded in 1930, Vitanza is known to be dedicated to the restoration of fine wood furniture using handcrafted, traditional methods. Since then, the firm has been involved with some extremely high-profile jobs, including the chair of Pope John Paul and the Sotheby's auction for the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Principal Michael Maytel has gained a reputation for being one of the premier experts in the restoration of 20th-century modern design, specializing in Art Deco and 1950s furniture. The firm's craftsmen excel in both contemporary and antique restorations and are adept with lacquer, polyurethane, antique white, French polish, custom color and custom finishes. Vitanza uses only the finest materials to reupholster furniture, from fabrics appropriate to the period to horsehair stuffing and coil springs. The firm was incorporated in 1986.
