    This chair is from the beginning of the 20´th century, probably made by Luterma factory in Estonia. In this video I will show how to use modern tech to replicate a complicated detail.

    A broken, rare chair finds a rare master to repair and restore it to it’s original beauty. Thank you for sharing! It is always a peaceful joy to watch you show us a broken item and how you remake truly broken parts and fix the rest.

    Чем ценна работа реставратора? Тем, что он старинную, ветхую вещь восстанавливает, придавая ей прежний, обновлённый вид, максимально оставляя все детали работы предыдущего мастера. И именно это прекрасно! Спасибо, маэстро, за ваше высокое мастерство и нелёгкий, но творческий труд! Новых успехов и новых подписчиков!👍👍👍💥💥💥💯💯💯💖💖💖

    When you called this chair mass produced, I had to stop and think. Today a mass-produced chair will probably be molded plastic with metal legs attached by a machine. The factor where this chair was made must have had an army of skilled craftsman producing perhaps with a machine each of these parts and then assembling them and finishing it. It is good that you keep these things alive for it speaks well of the original craftsman’s memory.
