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?

[@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! 🙂

[@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.

[@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.

[@troynewly]

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

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Glad you like it!

[@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.

[@user-tq5lu1wp7e]

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

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.

All you need now is a piano to restore and you have the complete set 🤗🤗👍👍well done !

[@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! 🙂

[@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!

[@martinalenz5029]

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

[@geraldinerowland5561]

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!

[@lilahasson5110]

You’ve done a remarkable job! It’s gorgeous. Anyone would be proud to own this piano stool!❤❤❤

[@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! 🙂

[@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!

[@LadyLeigh]

I never get tired of watching your videos and have rewatched a number of them! A superb job on that beautiful stool! Cheers from Australia🤗🇦🇺

[@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.

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! 🙂

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.

[@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!
