Elegant 1900s Art Nouveau Stool Restoration - Flea Market Rescue

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Hi folks! When I saw this beautiful stool in the rain at the flea market and, my heart said to take it home and give it a second chance! I hope you agree with my decision and you will enjoy the video! Thank you for all your support! Johnny

[@amybucher5439]

Your work is wonderful. I hope to find treasures some day!

[@lonewolfkmm]

Thanks for recognizing quality and saving it.

[@kericue2065]

Beautiful work, I wish you would narrate, I bet you have fascinating stories and lots of wisdom to share. But I know narrating is not everyone's cup of tea.

[@carol-annskinner4828]

Amazing 😮❤

[@loriwinchester1517]

What brand of leather wax did you use?

[@bluewateritineratetravel]

Yours is the only page that when I see a video of yours in my feed I open it and click like BEFORE watching the video 😊

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Love that! Thank you!

[@joannekaiser1380]

Im glad you rescued the stool out of the rain and that you restored it. I’m not sure it’s art nouveau. Usually art nouveau has a lot of decoration, characterized by intricate designs and flowing curves. This stool has no intricate decoration. It’s beautiful. Thank you for saving it.

[@LeannaRuthJensen]

I was predisposed to like a video about restoring wood, but I love that you restored the leather too. You didn't make it look new. You made it look like a well cared for antique, Bravo!

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you! 🙂

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

The way things were made back, then was just amazing. And when you think of the garbage that’s manufactured today it’s astonishing that people will paint these vintage pieces of art.

[@user-tq5lu1wp7e]

The laser cleaning is very interesting. This stool is worth, to got a second Life. Great Job. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm glad you enjoyed the laser footage. Thanks! 🙂

[@norman9076]

Wow, I must say that I'm impressed. You are equally good at restoration of both metal and wood. Let me add a third one.... leather. Great job and great video as always.

[@NoldorianElf]

I love those old piano stools. I still have one of the same era. The leather is embossed.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Me too! They are so beautiful! 🥰

[@troynewly]

Absolutely beautiful! You've restored that piano stool to a pristine condition, worthy of patina prestige.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Glad you like it!

[@MrsIsmena]

Wow, I am always amazed at your work and finished product. Thank you for sharring.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support and encouragement. It's always a pleasure to share my work with others, and I'm glad to know that you find it impressive. Your feedback means a lot to me!

[@mercoid]

It was cruddy. Now it is good for another hundred years, thanks to your fine work. It is a humble yet beautiful, honest little stool. You employed modern treatments to improve durability and service without compromising its vintage character. Very good.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you!

[@МаринаЗверева-й2ъ]

Я в восторге. Особенно впечатлило то, что практически все детали родные, даже шурупы. С нетерпением буду ждать новые видео с такими же превосходными результатами реставрации. Вы МАСТЕР.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you! 🙂

[@ВикторГалянин]

Ну ты Джонни крутой мастер, такую красоту зделал. Уважаю рукастых мастеров. Спасибо за видос и лайкаю.

[@koosgrobbelaar2000]

Johnny, the integrity of the stool is completely intact - which is true restoration. Down to using the original screws in the reassembly. Congratulations!

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@RED-cy7ig]

This stool got a second life. Now it looks really good.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm glad you like it! 👍

[@shortliner68]

I think you did really good for $25! If I saw that poor piano stool sitting out in the weather I would have rescued it, too. Old wood furniture items clean and finish up so beautiful even having been neglected for years. I could tell this stool originated in Europe by the design and leather seat insert. Very nice job giving the stool a new life! I've never seen one of those laser machines before...they really remove rust fast!

[@ИринаСмирнова-е8х]

Какое качество !!! 100 лет использовали и все в порядке,: уважение старым мастерам.

[@nataliakhartskhaeva7446]

[@PGoodmanCOG]

That is so pretty! Just enough work to repair the damage, but not so much as to eliminate the stool's character. Nice work!

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you! 🙂

[@NowInAus]

Nice job. Not the hardest restoration but I admire your dedication to the leather work. Looking forward to your next project reveal

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you! Yes, this is a project that almost everyone can do, and I'm trying to encourage the folks who may have a stool that is worth a try. The leather cleaning/restoration process took me quit a lot of time. Best, Johnny

[@justkiddin84]

Yes, I was worried about that leather at first!

[@orionstar7015]

Hello Again, Glad I came across your videos again, absolute Love the way you work, and to see the finished product, Wow.😎

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you, and welcome! 🙂

[@deniseboldea1624]

I'd say that it was a project worthy of the effort. The ability to bring the leather back is really impressive, old leather can be tricky to revive.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm glad you think so, Denise! Indeed, leather restoration isn't the easiest thing, but with a lot of care, patience, and knowledge, it can be done! Thank you once again for watching my work! 🙂

[@Nas_Atlas]

Just because you can't see the wood in final doesn't mean it doesn't need stain. The stain stops the wood from drying out and cracking. Apply it to every surface of the wood you can. Soak it into the screw holes. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thanks for the tip!

[@martinalenz5029]

Natural materials like wood and leather exposed at their best. Well done!👍

I know I'm an odd person, at least in this regard, but I absolutely loved the squeaking in the beginning.

[@confusedandsleepless]

Beautiful job. It looks great. I'm so glad you kept the old leather.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you so much!

[@131dyana]

That was more complicated than it looks. Great job and looks so nice.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you! 🙂

[@RobbyRob]

A fantastic restoration. The only thing I would add is using some of the wood dust from the sanding process and adding it to the epoxy to add a more consistent look. Other than that, great job!

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful suggestion! I appreciate your feedback and the idea of using wood dust in the epoxy to achieve a more consistent look is a great tip. I'll definitely consider that for future projects. Thanks again for taking the time to comment and for your support!

[@neilhaas]

Thats amazing very nice. Duration of the first world war very historical.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it amazing and historically significant. The First World War indeed had a profound impact on our world, and it's always fascinating to delve into its duration and the events that shaped it.

[@geraldinerowland5561]

Incredible work. Watching that leather revive was a joy.

[@Fionasichanie]

I loved how you saved and restored the hardware and original leather ❤

[@andreassimon2283]

Wunderbar. Nur den Schleifstaub sollte man aufbewahren, kann man später mit Sekundenkleber mischen und als Füllmaterial verwenden. Spart den teuren Zweikomponentenkleber.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Es freut mich, dass du das für eine gute Idee hältst! Das Aufbewahren von Schleifstaub und das spätere Mischen mit Sekundenkleber als Füllmaterial ist definitiv eine clevere Möglichkeit, Geld zu sparen und Ressourcen zu schonen. Danke für diesen Tipp!

[@jilldavies7094]

I'm so glad you saved that little stool. You made a super job of it, although I'm surprised you simply tucked the leather seat loose into the rebate/rabbet instead of glueing the edges of the leather to the padding to make it more secure.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm glad you enjoyed the restoration process. There was no need to glue the leather 🙂

[@YangCalgary]

I have the same, and restored it about 3 years ago. I didn't know it was that old. My parents bought it used in 1965. It actually is used as a piano chair.

Incrível, essa banqueta ficou lindíssima e muito original, restauração muito aprimorada, está de parabéns.

[@thepagan5432]

A good restoration, the stool does look amazing. The only thing I could not understand was the use of the epoxy resin, which did not form part of the original stool. A minor point I accept, but just puzzling. Good post and thank you.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

[@malachiXX]

You did an absolutely fantastic job on that stool, from wood to metal to leather. I suspect that you aren't the first to repair it though. The welding on the threaded bolt looked way too modern to be 1920's. The welds were clean, even and consistent. It was available but it was in its absolute infancy and really not perfected until the late 1940's or early 1950's. So I suspect it had already seen some repair before it ever arrived in that flea market. Wonderful job though
