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):

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