How to restore traditional upholstery

[@debbieclark9333]

Like someone else said, it’s like watching a magician. I’m from the USA and furniture like the antiquities you show us just doesn’t show up here often. The history of your pieces and how you bring them back to life is a bit mind boggling to me. And how you know which treatment is best to maintain both its history and usefulness today is amazing. And while I know it’s your profession and you’ve learned over time it’s like waving a magic wand over the item to watch. Beautiful restoration.

You make it look so easy yet I wouldn't even attempt to try it. Love the knot process..

[@gointothedogs4634]

I would never have thought to use all the various stuffings, layers of burlap, strings and how you sharpened the edges. Such a masterpiece. This is absolutely gorgeous.

TOTALLY EXQUISITE! You sir are a Master Craftsman and it is always a pleasure to watch you work. Perfection everytime. God bless you abundantly always 🙏 ❤️

[@pamelabraman7217]

Hello Ahti I just wanted to tell you that after watching the other videos in the competition, I appreciate even more your skills. The calm and silence of your work soothes my mind.

[@brondaboardman9239]

You are a true artist. Beautiful work and craftsmanship.

[@petererdei6567]

Hi Ahti, You do a fantastic masterwork AGAIN! I watched your video a couple of times but every seconds are amazing. YOU ARE THE BEST MASTERS OF FURNITURE! THANKS THE VIDEO! Peter from Bristol, England

[@darilynkrupp6309]

Watched the full video also where you regild the wood. Looking at the finished chair I can imagine it in a room lit with candlelight.

[@MlleAdler]

The seagrass and horsehair still mystify me. I've never seen them in that form in nature!😼

[@Sjels17]

I love the result but i absolutely love watching the process and learnjng. Even Tho I will most likely never do it irl

[@robertgriffith9703]

YOU are the Master! Yes, You get my Like! Watching you apply the Gold Leaf was Fascinating! Such a Delicate Touch! It made me a little nervous watching you do it!

[@MASI_forging]

The chair looks beautiful after renovation 😃😃

[@MlleAdler]

This fascinating and extremely detailed work. These and mattresses are right at the cusp of artisan to industrial technology. i.e. the extruded wire springs😺

So I liked your video and commented over an hour ago. I come back to this video to find the links to 2 channels for the chair challenge and i find my like is GONE and my comment is gone. Hope this comment goes thru to you and know how bad YT is getting. I had said that centuries from now someone will find this chair and know there wasnt much to restore since you did such a beautiful job. I hope this comment sticks and I hope my like sticks. You are the best. PS, i can't find your comment on the links to the other channels.

I have two videos about that chair. This one is only about upholstery.

[@MlleAdler]

What scares me is when you cut each piece of cloth, burlap or velvet, so close to the furniture tacks/staples. I can't help but imagine the material separating its weave from the stress of taut cloth and coming apart at the tacks (unwoven!) 🤔🙀

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

kind of ASMRish. Nice.

[@robertbamford8266]

All those layers and material. Artistry

[@debbieedwards635]

Absolutely amazing. Fit for a king 😅❤

[@jacintoleal5224]

Beautiful job! Regards from Mexico

[@vinceianni4026]

Hi AT beautiful restoration professionally restored good job well done

[@SS-mq8om]

Another fabulous restoration.

[@davidcarey5529]

Beautiful job mate!

[@j.l.emerson592]

Comment to bump the algorithm. Wow... €600 per yard for that velvet upholstery fabric? Wow.

[@ednaalegria8710]

Beautiful work!

[@cinamonndsugar]

loved watching all your fancy knots. Do modern chairs also use seaweed and horsehair?

[@richardnordfeldt9524]

Very satifying video to look. Beautiful work! Have you put a layer of enamel over the goldleaf to protect from wearing?

[@pamelabraman7217]

WOW does that green velvet changes the whole feel of the chair. Much more masculine and not as delicate looking.

[@dionetaylor931]

Superb

[@vmoutsop]

As always, WOW!

[@benediktmorak4409]

just a question and i hope it is seen as that. why are you using staples and not nails?

[@frazzledhaloz3184]

Gorgeous ❤

[@lovingmayberry307]

Where is the list of the 3 others in the competition?!?

[@Late_to_the_party]

I watched this video over an hour ago and found the links to the other three but now I can't find those links. My comment earlier was deleted as well as my like. YT is a bag of dicks. You may know this as well.

[@barbaracatalano6299]

Fantastic! Beautiful work. May I ask what you did with the vintage fabric and trim?🙄. Great play list.

[@richardbelmonte5994]

Y donde esta lo más importante la restauración de la silla solo se ve el tapizado que decepción

[@yavrielsechelle7431]

You did better, if only for the fact that there wasn't any jibber jabber, but the chair you chose was more interesting. Good job, sir.

[@MultiMarcoco]

Nice ! Altough I don't like gold the look is beautiful

[@MlleAdler]

And the trial and experimentation over the years as artisans develop the technique to place and tie down the springs, and create padding, instead of a torture device. 😹
