Art Nouveau chair FULL RESTORATION (with pro tips)

In this video I will restore Art Noveau chair from the beginning of the 20´th century. It was brought to by by the client, who got it with the house that he bought. It has rather unusual design, because of the black color and high backrest. I really enjoyed this restoration process.

If I were a broken chair, I'd want AT Restoration to be my surgeon.

[@jacemattson7385]

I'm 72 years old and I can totally agree that the sheet metal seat was quite the surprise. I've been refinishing furniture since I was 20 and I've never seen anything like it. Awesome work as usual. Where were you when I was refinishing and repairing the 1920's waterfall dressing table? I could have used some advice😁

[@justjulee9135]

Your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. I simply love how you fix even the smallest of issues and make everything new again. Bravo!

[@jessstince4107]

His videos are my favorite restoration videos on KZbin. Not only is he very talented but he's also very funny 🙂

[@Y2Ksurvivor276]

Anybody else imagine someone 100 years from now looking at this and saying, "You can see here where this chair has been expertly restored by a master craftsman"?

[@martemacdougall1985]

Beautifully done AT! I continue to watch with delight.😘

[@veroniqueremy6742]

What a beautiful job ❤ Art Nouveau and Art Déco are really my favorite style of fourniture 😍 I can watch your videos during hours 😂 Hello from Belgium 🇧🇪😘

[@truthmatters5366]

Rags to Riches! Can you imagine the original furniture maker's amazement and pride plus his surprise at all your power tools.

[@milanfanas]

when it looks like an easy job it means that you master that art.

[@davidfredman1749]

Watching this man restoring furniture is one of the most rewarding, entertaining, educational and professional experiences,ever. As I've said once before, if these restored items could speak, they'd sing his praises. He's what to furniture restoration as Michaelangelo was to fine art 🎨. Well done, Sir 👍👏

[@michelez715]

I agee with all the above comments, but also find these videos very soothing and relaxing to watch. Perhaps because I know there's always a happy ending!

Gorgeous! Love watching your videos. 😊

“What’s under the last layer?” LOL! Done! Fascinating and Beautiful restoration!

[@Sjels17]

I enjoy watching your video’s so much. I tried to Watch other furniture restauration video’s but non of them do it like you. Not the same attention to detail, quality of work and craftmanship. Always makes me look forward to you next upload.

[@OpulentRed]

It's 11am here in Singapore when I'm watching this with my morning coffee. Truly a wonderful start to my Saturday. And that beautiful chair reminds me to make more coffee. You are truly Master of Restoration, sir! You have a fan in me!

[@pwissink1]

Beautifully restored chair. It can be used for another 100 years. 👍

[@angelacrimmins2214]

Your chair is beautifully restoerd . Where can I buy this material , is it leather or leather.ette ?

[@MK-hz2bn]

I agree and I actually love that he doesn’t talk but you know exactly what he is doing.

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

I’m always waiting for your next video. I was trained in the classic techniques of cabinetmaking and furniture and so far have not found anyone with respectable skills except for you! When I’m watching other videos I’m usually cringing and covering my eyes in disbelief.

Amazing work. Such a beautiful chair. I love your videos. Also you are very handsome!

[@vbee3571]

Beautiful chair-you never see intricate design like this nowadays. I’ve never seen a piece of metal in a chair like that before either; you would think it would pop or snap when a person sat down. Good job.

[@Joe1935429]

This is a prime example of the restorers' art, with all its skills, at which you excel as few others do. Thanks and kudos!

[@hasilqaziyev5648]

Вы не мастер, вы реальный волшебник! С огромным удовольствием смотрю много раз ваши видео👍

[@michellemonksfield2171]

Around 1pm here in Adelaide, South Australia. Nice way to spend a cold Saturday afternoon admiring your work - great as always!

That’s right, it’s winter there. I’m in hot Dallas, Texas and it was 95 degrees here today🥵! (Although we have a strange cold front, for May, coming through tonight and going to be rainy and 65 degrees tomorrow).

[@BxCx666]

I love how you're never wrong with a radius of the blocks for the missing wood parts. At first it was extremely bizarre to see how you never use a chisel for this, but then I've started to enjoy your way of repair.

[@ATRestoration]

I have done it so many times that it is already in my muscle memory.

[@karmen430]

Great job! Your work as a restorer is much more professional and productive than that of your government!

[@andrewfarrell6120]

I look forward to your videos. Can't wait for the next one.

[@ИнгаПрохоренко-ы1ф]

Какая красота! Какое мастерство! Огромное спасибо и за просмотр и за стул-трон королевский!!!

Ein Mann vom Fach. Beste deutsche Handwerkskunst :) Daran sieht man warum früher 'made in germany' so wertvoll war. Schön anzuschauen. Bin voller Bewunderung.

[@marshdickenson]

Okay I'm amazed 😊

[@DangerDassie]

Another beautiful transformation. I really enjoy it when clients are wise enough to trust master craftsmen to do what they do best and leave the decisions to them,

[@philipwilliams5808]

When I saw the staples going in I thought "this looks terrible!" When you put the pins in they looked fantastic!

[@rjc6357]

I feel at peace every time the shellac is added 😌

[@dochubbell]

Just WOW! Says it all. Makes my heart glad that there are folks like you around saving the past and keeping history out of the landfills. Thank you.

[@BUTCH0120]

No restorations = no half-assed bodging you have to fix. Great job and video, as usual.

[@faithgirton9388]

I think you re-made it better than what it was originally made!!

[@nancyarchibald9095]

No words...you are a true 🎨 artist. I have a broken dining chair and know of no one to fix it. You are a rare breed. ✨️ 💺

[@ormdian]

they call him "The Clamp Man" :) that is a beautiful chair with a very cheeky secret message inside! :)

OMG! I love the splat on this chair! You get to work with some of the prettiest designs!

[@167curly]

There is a tool like a curved screwdriver with a forked blade for prising out old nails and tacks. You made a beautiful restorsation of that Art Nouveau chair.

[@pamelabraman7217]

Hi Ahti, loved this restoration. It always amazes me to see your attention to the little details that others ignore. And I realize how long it takes to complete a project. Hours, days, if not weeks of hands on work not just the waiting times for drying and materials to arrive. Bravo sir, you are a Master of your craft!

[@rossmilner6780]

It is so satisfying to watch such a beautifully proportioned elegant chair being given a new life by this dedicated and highly skilled master craftsman. Bravo!

[@ashleyosborne6239]

Another incredible restoration, Ahti! So love to watch the care you take with every piece, especially for one’s that are over 100 years old. You are a true master craftsmen. Stay safe.💜

[@debsmith2269]

It's such a lovely chair, I'm glad you could save it.

[@batterymakermarkii2654]

Best thing about this piece, you're the first person to restore it, you don't have to work around what a previous restorer did.

This helped me with information about a old rocker I have. I didn’t know they made faux leather back in 1907. I thought my rocker had painted fabric but now I know it may be this same material, and that my rocker may not be any older than 1907. I’m still doing research on it.

[@michelez715]

Love your sense of humour above all!

[@lindamarsh6711]

Beautiful chair! I’m so glad you could make it’s owners happy again! I wish I could be there to learn from you in person!

Ok, doesn't get much better than this: on vacation, visiting parents, a dark chocolate turtle, and a video by my favorite restorer! Life is good. Beautiful work, and seriously interesting chair! Loved the black finish, very well done. Thank you so much for posting!

I´m chocoholic too ;)

[@lauralake7430]

I like how you draw around your chisel for the double mortise tenon. Better than measure, the chisel will now fit the cut perfectly

This chair is beautiful. Restored to its natural state and beauty, glad that your client went to you instead of the trash pile. You do such beautiful work. Have a great day

Hello Ahti! I am praying for your Country to come through all the terrible times over there. God keep you all safe and well. That was a beautiful chair. I learn so much from you already. I think I could build a chair myself! Lol. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏽☝🏻
