Let’s not forget to be amazed at the original artistry and all of that gothic detail…. I don’t know where to start with your indescribable talents to bring this piece back from the dead! I don’t think my fingers could have been pried from the throats of the transportation company if this was mine! Carving new claws???? New ornate dowels???? Good grief but my jaw kept dropping!!!!! Just purely GIFTED you are! A true artist!!!!! God given talent! Thank you for sharing ❤
What a fantastic concoction of chinoiserie. The dragon (male), the phoenix (female), the pineapple finials, pineapples for hospitality, the 18thC dolphin, and the elongated stylised swirls representative of Chinese depictions of clouds. Thanks for restoring a most unusual piece, and saving it for posterity. Well done.
That is the most unique piece I've ever seen....what an amazing opportunity for you to showcase your phenomenal restoration skills on. BRAVO yet again. Your part of the world truly does have a love and appreciation for saving these one of a kind masterpieces from the past. Thank you for another satisfying and inspirational video.
There are no degrees of uniqueness. A thing which is unique is one of a kind. Never say “ it’s very unique” or that was “much more unique”. It was, or it wasn’t. That’s it!
@judeirwin2222 Your lesson in the constructs of the English language and my use of it, (although accurate), is neither applicable here nor solicited. I am/was expressing my sincere appreciation of not only the piece of furniture and its construction and beauty, but more importantly the man who restored it to it glory (through traditional methods) and his gifts, talents and work ethic. I was not posting my comments for an English lesson and/or to be critiqued. Should I choose to, in the future, sign up for your English class, I will contact you.

I’m speechless with the amount of detail, time ( don’t even want to know how May hours this took ) and patience it took to bring this beautiful piece back from the brink. This was truly a Lazarus piece.
I appreciate all of the great camera angles that you used so we could really see all the intricate work that you did on this amazing piece. Stunning repair work - so intricate and well-thought out.
нет слов! мне кажется, при реставрации Вами было вложено столько же труда, сколько и при изначальном создании. восхищаюсь каждым процессом, насколько тщательно и тонко все сделано. завораживающе ❤ и меня очень позабавил момент чистки зубов дракону, где ещё такое увидишь :)
The greatest work of yours so far. I'm speechless. This is so wonderful. It was more a resurrection than a restoration, wasn't it? Besides Treena with John's Furniture Repair you are the greatest restorer on RUclips! 🎉 Best wishes from Germany ❤
Let us no forget Mr. Thomas Johnson of Thomas Johnson’s antique furniture repair. That gentleman certainly deserves a place on this list. This restoration leaves me speechless!
Much as I appreciate the skill and artistry of both the original craftsmen and the best furniture restorer I have ever seen, I wouldn’t give this thing house room. Is over ornate dust magnet too harsh? I endorse the museum option!
What an amazing piece! I have never seen anything like it. I can't imagine how much time went into restoring it, let alone your skill and talent. Bravo!
Когда реставрируешь такие шедевры от каждого вашего движения замирает сердце. А вдруг...? Но вы большой мастер👍. Всё четко. Смотрела бы и смотрела. Спасибо вам что даёте такую возможность - смотреть за волшебством. ❤️🇷🇺
Absolutely beautiful restoration. I love to watch restorers like yourself bring life back to fragments of history like toys, appliances, furniture, or in this case an artist’s handiwork! I have high respect for your craft good sir. Please continue saving these beautiful bits of history.
Unbelievable!!! What patience, what persistence, what craftsmanship!!!Amazing restoration!!! Good thing you are there to save this piece of furniture!!!👋👋👋👋👋
Ahti, I can believe why you were asked to care for such a magnificent piece of furniture....ART. I was glued to the screen during the entire process and the love and care you showed that beautiful hall mirror/vanity was unmistakable in the way your hands moved around the piece. Skillfully, artfully and masterfully. I hope that the moving company had to pay through the nose for your time, etc. I would love to have a piece like that. Also your commentary was just too funny. Your one liners are getting better and better my friend. Thank you for allowing us all into your world to see what beauty comes from your hard work!!!
That is the craziest piece of furniture I have ever seen - AND I LOVE IT. I confess I was nervous when you were doing some disassembly, but as usual you restored it with respect to the original and perfection. Thanks for sharing.
That is one of the most amazing pieces of furniture I have ever seen, that definitely was in some very elegant estate at some point in an entry, the tray for the visitors cards, that would have had a crystal inset at some point I am sure. The work you did on that? AMAZING. You saved a beautiful piece of history. The carving and details on the dragon, the bird and the dolphin or fish (on the far bottom right), its just exquisite and that you were able to restore the pieces missing and even the claws - there is no end to your talent and skill. I would love to know the backstory on the piece! Where it was made, where its from… just amazing. In addition to your master craftsman’s skills you must have the patience of Job as that fine detail not only took amazing skill, it took a lot of patience as well. Thank you for yet another wonderful video!
The creature in the corner on the bottom right is a dolphin. There are quite a few similar representations of dolphins in 18th century European art. My best guess as an former art historian (not a furniture expert!) is that this was made mid- to late-18th century. I say this because at mid-19th century "chinoiserie" was all the rage in France and Rococo was still in favor, and other European artists and furniture makers followed suit. It is interesting to see some of the Neoclassical elements coming into the design when Neoclassicism generally didn't become "all the rage" until the 1770s and 1780s. So that's why I say later 18th century. Of course, I could be entirely wrong and this could simply be some 19th-century furniture maker's mashup! There was a lot of that going on in the second half of the 19th century.
Agreed. There is a spot for shoes, parasols, letters, and calling cards. Although this could also be a gentleman’s vanity? It’s so unusual that it’s difficult to tell.
Это просто наслаждение смотреть на Вашу работу! Вы - мастер от Бога! У вас светлая голова и золотые руки! Хочу пожелать Вам дальнейших успехов и удачи! 👏🤝❤🌹
That has got to be one of the most exquisitely restored pieces of furniture I've seen to date! You did absolutely wonderful bringing this piece back to life!
Здравствуйте! Это был титанический без преувеличения труд ! Никто так не выполняет реставрацию, как вы, по крайней мере я не видела на других каналах. Всього найкращого 😊
Not exactly "my cup of tea" but I can still appreciate it for it's beauty. Simply an amazing restoration of which the customer must have been ecstatic.
You are now a part of that pieces history. As years go by, the people who own this piece will have a piece of you with them. This is a stunning piece, unless I'd seen this restoration, I'd never known it was broken.
As always, you show all of us how it's done right. Your mastery of wood working is uncanny. The pieces you find are varied and interesting. Look forward to your next project.
I have watched almost all your videos and this is by far the best! Actually, all your restorations are breathtaking but this piece is unique! The best carvings I have ever seen! I didn't catch it if you mentioned it was a client's piece but if it's not KEEP IT! Your work on this masterpiece is priceless! I love internet... I appreciate the opportunity it provides me to watch artists like yourself do incredible furniture rescues. Thanks so much for sharing
Никогда в жизни не видел такой красоты! Какая красивая работа! Деревянное произведение искусства. Спасибо вам большое, что смогли сохранить этот предмет для человечества. Хорошо, что он попал именно к вам на реставрацию. Вы ему продлили жизнь! И сделали это очень качественно. Теперь часть вашей души живёт в этом дракоше!
That is insane! The person who carved this must have been apprenticed at an early age and could probably carve like this blindfolded and sleeping! You did an amazing job 💗💗💗
What an awesomely weird and beautiful piece this is! It's so unique and I really enjoyed seeing your creative solutions to all the small broken bits. The finished piece is gorgeous and so, so different.
This is a porte manteau usually found in the foyer for hanging coats and hats. The shelf-like flat part on the bottom is for house slippers as shoes were not worn indoors. The copper pan area is for standing wet umbrellas and boots.
It never fails, Ahti. Whenever I think I've seen the best of your work, you outdo yourself again. This piece shows that there are no limits to your talents. I watched this entire video without blinking because I didn't want to miss a second of this project. Your work is impeccable. You are the BEST at your craft. Truly.
That hand carving is amazing! The artist was truly talented. You did a wonderful job carving and restoring the piece. Your work never ceases to amaze me. Great job!
Wow!!! That thing is amazing!!! Its so beautiful and exciting with those amazing creatures. You made new claws!! It would not be right without those claws. You do fantastic work. I love it!!!!
WOW is all I can say... Today's furniture just doesn't compare. Oh there are some ingenious designed items, but the creativity of old-world artistry and imagination was soulful. you did a wonderful job.
It’s so incredible you have such historic furniture available to you! Late 19 century furniture is about the oldest you can find here at affordable resale here in America. I know not all the pieces are found by yourself but nonetheless it’s mind blowing there’s even anything like this on the open market in such disarray and not in museums!
Добрый вечер мастер, , золотые руки, чисто случайно попалась на ваш канал, не один час наблюдаю за вашей работай, и за ващими золотыми руками. Очнь интиресно изаворожительно, Вы владеете огромным талантом, даете вторую жизнь историческому мебели, уважение вашему творчеству, ❤🎉
I'm completely hooked on watching your videos...is so neat to watch the process and see something that looked like rubbish to looking like it did when first built.
Truly talented..your hands are pure gold full of artistry and love for your craft. This piece is absolutely incredible seeing it brought back to life again. You are amazing 👏 Bravo on another incredible job well done.
Amazing how much glue is holding this piece of art together lol, looks like something out of the lion the witch and the wardrobe. Is there a lid missing for the toy storage area? The asymmetry is off putting, feels like there was a side to the piece and it was cut down to fit a childs room. Also no frame around the mirror?
That literally took our breath away Ahti. Magnificent beyond belief, you've once again performed at a level that's almost superhuman. The finished product was definitely worthy of royalty. Thank you again brother for your awesome restorations and videos. God bless. Rev. D.
Absolutely one of the most stunning restorations I’ve seen in a while. My ex and I built antique reproductions and this is a jewel of a piece. Nice work!🥰
Потрясающее видео по восстановлению уникального предмета художественного мастерства и старины далёкой. Вы снова своей работой подтвердили статус мастера реставрационных работ высокого класса. Хотелось бы знать имя краснодеревщика, изготовившего такой предмет мебели, дошедший до нашего времени в плачевном состоянии. Ещё бы, его возраст не менее, чем 200 лет, примерно 18 век. Сложная, кропотливая работа с резьбой по дереву выполнена в восточном стиле с массой интересных деталей со знанием дела и большого опыта. И восстановить такой разрушенный предмет до совершенства, дорогого стОит, маэстро. Восторг и восхищение, продолжительные аплодисменты в ваш адрес. Ждём новых видео. Успехов вам в нелегком труде. 👍👍👍🤔👌👌👌👏👏👏😍
What a phenomenal piece. The amount of craftsmanship that went into creating it. Awesome. I'm completely blown away with the amount of work involved and your ability to tackle every issue that arose with remarkable skill. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Bravo and huge thanks for sharing. Brilliant.
OMG! What a wonderfully unique piece of furniture to have the movers destroy it was tragic. The restoration job you performed on it is outstanding! Your attention to detail is stellar as you dismantled what was left intact. Cleaned and restored all the carvings and filled cracks where needed as well as replaced veneer that was past the point of restoration. The way you recarved missing or lost sections was performed with a lite touch with respect to the historic nature of the piece. Use just enough stain and finish to blend all your hard work away as if no damage had ever happened. A stunning piece of furniture I would be proud to have in my home.
Nothing short of miraculous! If asked why expert furniture repair/restoration "takes so much time and costs so much", I could provide no better answer than this video. Well done!
A beautiful piece and a brilliant restoration. I particularly enjoyed watching you repair the animal claw. If more people could see how exceptional ornamental pieces like this can look when fully restored, they'd be more highly prized in the antiques market.
I envy whoever owns this piece. Breathtaking! And something good came out of the transportation damage, after all. You got to restore it and we were able to witness this gorgeous piece come back to life.
That piece is so beautiful and the details are really amazing. It must have been a huge challenge, but you did a great job and brought it back to life in all its glory.
What an amazing furniture piece. The detail in the wood carving is incredible. You handled this restoration with such respect for the original work. I love watching you work 💖🤩
Майже півроку спостерігаю за роботою цього неперевершеного Майстра і отримую велике задоволення від того, що бачу. Витвір мистецтва, який цього разу потрапив на реставрацію, мабуть, найскладніший й найцікавіший. Вражає не тільки рівень майстерності, а й ставлення Майстра до найдрібніших деталей. Респект! З нетерпінням чекаю на нові відео і нові відреставровані шедеври.
Wow! You're truly a master at your craft. Just looking at all the fine details in that piece and then seeing how you repaired and restored each one was amazing! I wish people around me were this skillful. I have a beautiful old oriental side table with ornate details but, some of the details are missing and would need to be hand cut. It seems there's no one left in my town with skills like these. 😅
I hope you enjoyed repairing that unique piece of furniture. The owner must have been both delighted and astounded when that came home. Everything repaired, replaced and all cleaned and polished. You should be very proud of your workmanship. Thank you for allowing us to see.
Your skills have no limit! Thank you again for sharing your fabulous work with all of us viewers. And…I love when I visit your channel…that I can sit back and enjoy your amazing work WITHOUT annoying background music. The quiet subtle audio of you working is perfect! Great work on this magnanimous project!
I´m enjoying a lot of retauration videos on YT since many years and have a subscription to a few of these channels. AT Restauration was one of my first ones. This is an amazing piece of work Chris, thanks for sharing this. I liked the steam cleaner, the first time I saw this in operation in antique restauration Great job. Best regards from Germany, Robert
Wow! What an amazing pice of furniture!!! The transport company really did a number on that thing. Lucky you came along and did such a great job, as usual. Are you supposed to have plants in that copper tub? Makes me wonder what the rest of the owners house looks like. I enjoyed every minute of this restoration, and I bet the dragon (?) did too.
Let’s not forget to be amazed at the original artistry and all of that gothic detail…. I don’t know where to start with your indescribable talents to bring this piece back from the dead! I don’t think my fingers could have been pried from the throats of the transportation company if this was mine! Carving new claws???? New ornate dowels???? Good grief but my jaw kept dropping!!!!! Just purely GIFTED you are! A true artist!!!!! God given talent! Thank you for sharing ❤

The creature in the corner on the bottom right is a dolphin. There are quite a few similar representations of dolphins in 18th century European art.

What a lovely hallway stand and mirror. It's almost possible to imagine an Edwardian family catching their reflection on the way out.
Не каждый бы взялся за такую сложную реставрацию. Огромный труд. Но Вы выполнили все блестяще
да. и такая резьба по дереву не каждый день встречается
It's not a vanity. It's a hall tree. It has a place for wet boots and possibly calling cards. It's weird and wonderful.
Agreed. There is a spot for shoes, parasols, letters, and calling cards. Although this could also be a gentleman’s vanity? It’s so unusual that it’s difficult to tell.
That was my thought as well. A vanity would have a table area and usually some drawers. It also wouldn't have a full mirror.
It's an amazing piece.
Great job! I'm sure someone is very happy that you were able to restore it to almost like new!

Потрясающее видео по восстановлению уникального предмета художественного мастерства и старины далёкой. Вы снова своей работой подтвердили статус мастера реставрационных работ высокого класса. Хотелось бы знать имя краснодеревщика, изготовившего такой предмет мебели, дошедший до нашего времени в плачевном состоянии. Ещё бы, его возраст не менее, чем 200 лет, примерно 18 век. Сложная, кропотливая работа с резьбой по дереву выполнена в восточном стиле с массой интересных деталей со знанием дела и большого опыта. И восстановить такой разрушенный предмет до совершенства, дорогого стОит, маэстро. Восторг и восхищение, продолжительные аплодисменты в ваш адрес. Ждём новых видео. Успехов вам в нелегком труде. 👍👍👍🤔👌👌👌👏👏👏😍
What a phenomenal piece. The amount of craftsmanship that went into creating it. Awesome. I'm completely blown away with the amount of work involved and your ability to tackle every issue that arose with remarkable skill. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Bravo and huge thanks for sharing. Brilliant.
OMG! What a wonderfully unique piece of furniture to have the movers destroy it was tragic. The restoration job you performed on it is outstanding! Your attention to detail is stellar as you dismantled what was left intact. Cleaned and restored all the carvings and filled cracks where needed as well as replaced veneer that was past the point of restoration. The way you recarved missing or lost sections was performed with a lite touch with respect to the historic nature of the piece. Use just enough stain and finish to blend all your hard work away as if no damage had ever happened. A stunning piece of furniture I would be proud to have in my home.
My favorite part was when you covered the screw with a piece of trim instead of just putting it right through the trim itself. What a good idea.
Nothing short of miraculous! If asked why expert furniture repair/restoration "takes so much time and costs so much", I could provide no better answer than this video. Well done!
What a beautiful restoration wonderful work 🎉🎉🎉
Excelente trabajo lo máximo posible 😂😂
I think this is my favorite so far!! Awesome piece!!
A beautiful piece and a brilliant restoration. I particularly enjoyed watching you repair the animal claw. If more people could see how exceptional ornamental pieces like this can look when fully restored, they'd be more highly prized in the antiques market.
I envy whoever owns this piece. Breathtaking! And something good came out of the transportation damage, after all. You got to restore it and we were able to witness this gorgeous piece come back to life.
Watching your videos has taught me the difference between a craftsman and a master craftsman. You are incredible!
Such a wonderful, and a bit scary, piece. Your restoration has brought it back to it's original magnificence . Another victory for you!
Oh hey, it's the dragon from the neverending story
That piece is so beautiful and the details are really amazing. It must have been a huge challenge, but you did a great job and brought it back to life in all its glory.
Meu Deus que maravilha de Arte !Parabéns
All I can say. Is they picked the right man for the job. Good work.
Beautiful work my friend.
Superb craftsmanship!!
the owner will cry . it is new again. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
That copper piece is called an umbrella drip pan
Brilliant job as usual. You are a master!
THAT IS definitely a unique and interesting piece! Love the carvings!!!!
What an amazing furniture piece. The detail in the wood carving is incredible. You handled this restoration with such respect for the original work. I love watching you work 💖🤩
Cuidas cada detalle, trabajas con mucha precisión..resultado impecable 😊
Saludos desde ANDALUCÍA, ESPAÑA ❤❤
Майже півроку спостерігаю за роботою цього неперевершеного Майстра і отримую велике задоволення від того, що бачу. Витвір мистецтва, який цього разу потрапив на реставрацію, мабуть, найскладніший й найцікавіший. Вражає не тільки рівень майстерності, а й ставлення Майстра до найдрібніших деталей. Респект! З нетерпінням чекаю на нові відео і нові відреставровані шедеври.
Wow! You're truly a master at your craft. Just looking at all the fine details in that piece and then seeing how you repaired and restored each one was amazing! I wish people around me were this skillful. I have a beautiful old oriental side table with ornate details but, some of the details are missing and would need to be hand cut. It seems there's no one left in my town with skills like these. 😅
I hope you enjoyed repairing that unique piece of furniture. The owner must have been both delighted and astounded when that came home. Everything repaired, replaced and all cleaned and polished. You should be very proud of your workmanship. Thank you for allowing us to see.
The Creature is , a Sea Serpent or Sea Dragon.
Your skills have no limit! Thank you again for sharing your fabulous work with all of us viewers. And…I love when I visit your channel…that I can sit back and enjoy your amazing work WITHOUT annoying background music. The quiet subtle audio of you working is perfect! Great work on this magnanimous project!
¡Es usted un gran artista! ¡Verdaderamente magnífico! ¡Felicidades! 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️
I´m enjoying a lot of retauration videos on YT since many years and have a subscription to a few of these channels. AT Restauration was one of my first ones. This is an amazing piece of work Chris, thanks for sharing this. I liked the steam cleaner, the first time I saw this in operation in antique restauration Great job. Best regards from Germany, Robert
Wow! What an amazing pice of furniture!!! The transport company really did a number on that thing. Lucky you came along and did such a great job, as usual. Are you supposed to have plants in that copper tub? Makes me wonder what the rest of the owners house looks like. I enjoyed every minute of this restoration, and I bet the dragon (?) did too.
