Beautiful mirror hidden under years of grime. A sympathetic restoration, and the owner was correct to leave the old glass in it.

[@annettemclaughlin6834]

Agree

[@58Kym]

Absolutely right. Even if the old glass was not reflective, I would have put a new piece over the old or behind the old and left the old in place. Very important to keep everything together.

[@kathyw7143]

I totally agree!

[@yssubed2]

Agreed. New glass would be too jarring next to such a beautiful old frame.

[@gengen-vx8li]

Agree.

[@kassandralevingston9874]

My mouth dropped open when you first uncovered the birch wood. Amazing! What a great service you provide. 😊

[@LadyEnyalus]

I did too, it is so beautiful.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Beautiful mirror and splendid restoration! Cleaning off all of that grime was like taking Mother Nature out of a body bag. The client was quite correct to retain the original mirror. To have replaced the original mirror would've stolen its soul.

...." robado el alma..." sin duda. Hermosa definición.

[@crystalinedreams6039]

i agree, true lovers of antiques will appreciate it more.

[@kjbuchanan63]

I feel it would have "cheapened" it.

[@cynthiat6505]

Such incredibly beautiful wood! What a phenomenal job you did to restore it!

[@condar419]

Fantastic work. That wood grain is stunning. I bet your client was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out.

[@caroltanzi29]

That job was at Master level. It is a treasure. Leaving that mirror in was the right thing to do. That is history facing you with a carved wood frame. Your client is very lucky. Magnificent job. And the fact it is signed! OMG! It was so exciting to me. Carol from California, USA

[@canterburyjhiguma8387]

I am sure that many of us will appreciate the emotional load that this restoration carries, with the discovery of the artisan's name, the identification, lineage, and the worthy continuation you provide to the piece.

[@elliepascoe5954]

Lovely restoration and a gorgeous mirror! So glad you kept the old glass, the patina is incredible. And long time ago the master himself looked into it, wow.🥰🇳🇱

[@Joans20thCentury]

The client was correct about the mirror. Beautiful work as usual.

[@c0ldc0ne]

Correct in what regard?

[@Joans20thCentury]

@@c0ldc0ne correct in keeping the original mirror glass

@@Joans20thCenturySurely that's just their personal preference, not a matter of right or wrong.

[@nancyring8104]

Even old and dirty, it was a pretty piece, but now, it’s breathtaking!!❤️😍

[@richardwebb2348]

refinishing it does not make it any younger!

[@therealJamieJoy]

Imagine all the people whom have looked into that glass for the last century plus!!! The glass holds magic, and the wood holds history. Thank you for this video!

[@Garden366]

Wow! That mostly cleaned up with minimal repair work needed but I still enjoyed seeing you rescue this beautiful mirror. Great job!

[@RissaFirecat]

Hats off to the master! I am glad you kept the mirror glass. You did another beautiful restoration. Thank you so much!

[@lynnmanning2795]

What a treasure! Love this story! Your work no matter what the craft, sign and date it! Tha k you

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

I hope Mr Kongrak was proud of his beautiful work as should you. I doubt he’d have ever considered his stunning carving would still be around and now seen & admired by people all over the world.

[@lildeli3rddimention]

That frame is gorgeous! The pattern of the wood is like tiger stripes!

[@stevepiechock9234]

Wonderful resurrection. Your work honors the original builder.

[@alfredthomas208]

Very nice restoration, the mirror came out great 👍

[@lovingmayberry307]

I am glad you kept the old mirror. It's interesting that the symmetry was off. Beautiful job, Ahti! ❤

[@mariehohmann1459]

I have a hand craved mirrored sideboard and its symmetry is off too. Just proves its handmade origin!

[@tatyanakruglova9600]

Очень люблю смотреть работу реставраторов, когда из старой, почти свалочной вещи, рождается вот такая красота!

[@karenroot450]

This restoration is beautiful to watch. The frame is so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing yer work

[@vbee3571]

What a beautiful surprise underneath all that grime. Thank goodness it landed in the hands of another master!

[@rosannamize6622]

Such a beautiful mirror hidden underneath all the dirt and grime!

This was beautiful! Thank you for sharing the story behind the mirror. Excellent restoration work, as always!

[@susanross1651]

Beautiful restoration, & I agree with the client to save the original piece of mirror, I’d never put a modern mirror in such a lovely old frame.

[@tijnvanbeekuitsneek319]

A big thumbs up from the Netherlands for this restoration!

[@CallMeTippy]

Another beautiful resorations! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@jodirauth8847]

So cool you found the name of the maker and a picture. I love the phrase you used "went full Sherlock" so cute.

[@lindasueanderson8024]

I gasped when you exposed the birch woodgrain and I am so glad you found the name of the creator of this piece. I also really liked the legs you fashioned for it

[@annaleesmith8444]

Such a joy to see this piece come alive. Thanks

[@jannamarie3990]

The old master would be gratified. 😁

[@lenkuffert7428]

That little Proxxon belt sander is a beauty.

[@faithsmith7431]

You sir, are a master. Pieces like this mirror will never be crafted in our modern world. The builder did a stunning job.

[@earthmotherdragon4572]

Your work is amazing. His clothing is correct for that period. 1882. That was what they were wearing long into early 1900's almost to modern day. Love you are restaurating this with such care and it is really stunning in the end. Thank you for sharing. x

[@borge2014]

Beautiful, and keeping the original mirror with the patina was the best choice.

[@amym7825]

That is beautiful! Kudos to Daniel and you!

[@greeneyedlady7290]

Wow you uncovered such beautiful wood beneath centuries of grime.

[@normagrimstad8869]

Beautiful work. I’m glad there are people who want to restore things, rather than buy new crap.

Beautiful job. My late husband was a talented restorer. He enjoyed my "finds" to work on. That was my talent ,bringing him projects. 💙✌️

[@colleenscorfield3505]

Beautiful sympathetic restoration, i love the fact the piece has history you can relate, in the UK distressed mirror is more valuable so you did the right thing by not changing it.

[@johnclauser7392]

The figured Birch in that mirror from 19th century is beautiful and you brought back the beauty in that mirror. It looks really really good.....

[@triskerslake3763]

Wow - that wood is amazing. Beautifully done.

[@19bishop56]

What a gift you have in restoring beautifully crafted antique furniture. I watched in amazement, as I have a house full of family heirlooms. A dining table stamped 1876 is my favorite.

[@joygrove5570]

Very beautiful restoration! Such a treasure ...

[@alizaisfandiari7289]

Always admire your work. A beauty n skill mixed on the mirror

[@thomasweatherford5125]

Stunning pattern in that wood frame. Gorgeous work as usual.

that mirror is stunning! I love birch trees but never heard of the Flame Birch. I immediately looked it up! I have an old mirror that needs cleaning. wonder if i should get so lucky and find something so unique for wood under all that grime......
