Really beautiful result! Those springs sure looked like a headache to put in! My mom has told me how much she loved the Biedermeier chairs her grandma had in Hungary. She said the fabric was really colourful, but I’m guessing that they had been reupholstered. I think that the generations of people who had and loved these chairs would be pleased with your result ❤️

I love when you must take off damaged veneer, and then save the small pieces to restore other parts of the furniture. Such care is moving, I have no other word. I love old furniture, the amount of history embedded in them, and I'm still trying to find HERE traditional products (as you have), like some kinds of glues, lacquers, waxes, to preserve them as original as I can. Alas, we are a too modern country, and poor, it means there is nothing of the sort here, and importing them is quite impo$$ible 🙄. Still trying to do my best, even if doesn't come close to what YOU do, not just because of appropriate insumes and tools - but your skill!! Wonderful 😳🤩. Humble compliments!

The chair is gorgeous. Great job of restoration. I once restored an antique chair, but I used a heavy foam cushion for the seat on top of a plywood support that I used for the base instead of webbing. It wasn't a kosher restoration, but it turned out beautifully and everyone admired it. I gave it to my daughter and her father-in-law claimed it for himself. He spent many a happy year sitting in that chair before he passed.

Biedermeier pieces are my favorite to see restored. The use of various interesting wood-grains in veneers, colors in paints and stains, and the almost modernistic styles is fascinating to me. Such pieces are rare today, possibly because furniture styles changed so drastically after this trend and the use of veneers resulted in such damage to them.

@chrigunrestauration Жыл бұрын

I think you're right. I also think that buying such a piece of furniture is associated with very high costs. I don't think many people are willing or able to pay such a high price. Greetings

@VeganAtheistWeirdo Жыл бұрын

Those springs ("feathers") looked way too thick for this application the minute you showed them, so I'm not surprised at all that they gave you difficulty! I'm not an expert, just someone who has watched quite a lot of this kind of work. Have you seen Ahti do reupholstery? It never looks easy, even though it's clear he knows what he's doing at every stage and it always comes out perfect. What I'm saying is, you did a brave thing in trying this out for the first time on a challenge, and the seat came out far better at the end than I was afraid it would when I first saw those springs. 💜 Both you and Il Makerstauratore have a new subscriber thanks to this fun challenge.

Great work! A little hint on your english translation: in the german language the word "Federn" (engl. feathers) is used s for the outer cover, plumage, of birds and also for metallic devices that can be compressed and expanded. The english word for the latter term is "spring". So you put in to the chair new springs, not feathers.
