In short it has a new fretboard and bridge in Rosewood, new bracing, bottom and top has been thinned. New repro tuners and a K&K mic installed. It also has a carbon rod in the neck. It’s basically a new guitar built with +100 year old wood.
Here is the luthiers/sellers pictures and text from the restoration process (swedish):

Wow, that's really beautiful. Great restoration of a great guitar maker's legacy. That's fantastic.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

It really is. Kudos to Roger at Gammelgura that saves all these old parlor guitars from an almost certain death.
