Restoration work was carried out at L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2013.
A Loja de Penhores (1916) has been restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Lobster Films, from a nitrate dupe negative from the Blackhawk Film Collection preserved at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and a nitrate print from the Library of Congress.
Some fragments were added from two nitrate prints preserved at the British Film Institute and the Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique, and a fine grain preserved at the Cinémathèque française.
Intertitles have been reconstructed according to the original Mutual Film intertitles and documents of the Library of Congress.
The surviving elements come from two different negatives. Negative A was restored whenever possible while negative B was used to reconstruct missing or severely damaged shots.

During an early scene, attention is drawn to the calendar on the pawnshop wall, which displays a date of Thursday, March 16. March 16 fell on a Thursday in 1916--the year this movie was made--and it is entirely possible that the scene in question was filmed on the actual date.
