La boutique
LA CONTESSA ARREDA
Situated just outside Rome in the Castelli Romani region in the ancient hearth of Albano Laziale, La Contessa Arreda is the boutique Claudio Marchesi and Andreas Bruzelius Berger. Both of us have a varied background within antique and old furniture. Claudio learnt the trade of classical restoration of antique furniture from his father and can spot a fake piece from a mile away. Andreas started going to auctions at an early age and has been interested in various eras and aspects of the trade ever since, which led to a collaboration between the two and in 2012 they opened La Contessa Arreda.
ITALIAN DESIGN
We tend to focus on Italian design roughly between 1930-80, a period in which interiors are being reimagined by a variety of Italian artists and designers. But each piece has to have some kind of appeal be it in composition, design, material, or quality.
Professional restoring
Aside from sourcing furniture and interor objects, we also emphasize on the process of professional restoring, be it wood, metal, stone or re-upholstery, working with professional trades people of course.
Interior Design
Apart from trading with vintage furniture Andreas Bruzelius Berger has been working as an interior designer as well as designing wallpaper. His work has been featured in different magazines such as Elle Decoration and Residence to name a few. If you would like his help and expertise don´t hesitate to get in contact.

They are even more perfect for our dining room than I hoped
Thank you for all of your help with shopping the Paulo Buffa chairs that arrived yesterday. They are even more perfect for our dining room than I hoped. The brass capped front legs compliment the brass ring that encompasses the glass-top and gold leaf detail of the birdcage base. The table is Maison Jansen of the same vintage as the chairs. Thank you!

Great experience
Claudio personally delivered the very heavy coffee table to my apartment in Rome, on the 7th floor, then set it up for me. Great experience.
