- In this video I will restore a chair that was bombed during WW2, in Tallinn.
This chair was made in Poland by the company "WOJCIECHÓW" which is well known in the history of the Polish furniture industry, as it was the first Polish factory of bent beech furniture. It was founded in 1872 by Count Wojciech Poletyłło on part of his land in Wojciechów, where he had excellent access to the raw material, as the area was rich in beech forests. The company developed very dynamically, hence already in 1875. opened its branch in Warsaw at ul. Gęsia (on the premises of the former soap factory), where the bent furniture elements were delivered and only here, on the spot, they were assembled/screwed together and sold further. In 1884 Count Poletyłło's company was transformed into the "Towarzystwo Akcyjne Fabryki Mebli Giętych Wojciechów". The recipients of products from Wojciechów were customers not only from the Kingdom of Poland, but also from Russia, Germany, France, Belgium, and the company itself had its stores and warehouses, among others in Warsaw (at ul. Miodowa 3 and ul. Ossoliński 6 and at Krakowskie Przedmieście 13 and Plac Grzybowski 1), Poznań, Odesa, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kyiv. Furniture was also sent to the countries of North and South America. Unfortunately, in 1925 the factory collapsed and was taken over by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego. In 1927, it was further sold to a new private investor, who went bankrupt after five years. in 1929 furniture from the Auction Society of the Bent Furniture Factory "Wojciechów" was still presented at the famous General National Exhibition in Poznań, presenting the achievements of the reborn Polish State. It is officially assumed that the factory ceased its activity in 1933."

Title: I restored BOMBED CHAIR from WW2
#howto #howtorestore
أنت مبدع بكل ما تحمله الكلمة من معنى ، شكراً لك على هذا الإنجاز الجميل ❤
Невероятно, казалось шансов у этого стула не было. На деле получился как новый. Браво мастеру, золотые руки.(Беларусь,Минск)
I'm from Poland. My grandfather had the whole set of those chairs. 12 chairs plus table.
Wooow, that's treasure
They are beautiful. Probably comfortable too.
I would be extremly curious to see a picture.
Nobody would ever guess. What a wonderful and beautiful restoration.
If this chair could speak, it would say, thank you so much, I thought I was dead. Beautiful work.
This is all there is to say. ^^^

.........All the farts and sharts its had too suck up of now long dead people........ahhh the memories..........
@judithcatlett8518
I just hope nobody was sitting on it at the time.😲😬😳
Это уже даже не реставрация, а реанимация была - возвращение стула к жизни 👍
This is yet another prime example why I love your videos. Paying attention to the tinyest details, flawless outcome. ❤
Simply amazing.
This was an emotional piece knowing it's back story. You really did it justice. I love watching your upholstery skills as well. This chair should be on display somewhere.
Yeah. Cool story of rescue Tallinn from fascists.
This channel not only is great for tips and discovering great methods for restoration but gives a sense of what it possible in restoring old furniture. I have been a woodworker for years but restoration is a different game. Watching these videos also gives people a lots more respect for old stuff that many would throw away.
Not only are the chairs stunningly beautiful, like everything you do. But this time, they are wonderful symbols of healing and peace. This the world needs so badly right now. Thanks and respect from the USA❤️🤗🐝
And even more so now, since 10/7/23! 💔💔
@@ChrisInPa16123 Yes, I wouldn’t have thought it could, but it got worse… much worse😔💔🐝
@@deborahdanhauer8525 Not sure where you are located but here in 🇺🇸 much h8tred has been taught on college campus for years. This must stop.
@@ChrisInPa16123 I’m also in the US and most of the hatred I’ve seen wasn’t from a college, but from politicians.
@@deborahdanhauer8525 Loudest Jew hater Rashida Tlaib and her BDS-supportr group have been vocal along with supporters from Univ of VA, Columbia, Harvard, UCLA, Stanford, Univ of IL, Univ of Penn.
Beautiful and elegant!
This actually left me in tears! Such meticulous work, indeed done with love. They look brand new, and yet have a rich, violent history to tell of war, survival, and then healing. THANK YOU!
😢boo hoo hoo 👎🏿
Healing!!! ❤
Am I the only one feeling that we don't have such great designs nowadays?!! these two chairs look like an art project, if this was furniture back in the day, what was art like?!
Ahti, when you first showed the chair, I wondered why it hadn't been binned. I would have never dreamed it could've been restored and look so beautiful. Goodness, they look wonderful. Thank you for preserving some history, thank you for sharing your gorgeous work. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Exactly that is what I love and what makes this kind of work so absolutely satisfying: you have what seems to be a pile of crap and when you're finished there is nothing less than a precious shining beauty.
Как всегда- потрясающая работа! После ваших видео не могу смотреть реставрацию на других каналах, настолько высоко вы подняли планку мастерства. Благодарю от всей души
Аналогично, сколько каналов не пытался смотреть, нет ни одного похожего на этот😊
Вот тоже нормально человек реставрацию делает. Хотя у него на канале больше про изготовление мебели. ruclips.net/video/GtsGXrAij9M/видео.html
@@АлександрКузнецов-ж5я не соглашусь, этот Честер далеко не нормально делает. Там у этого честера в основном изготовление мебели по индивидуальному проекту. А иногда еще делает ремонт мебели, но не реставрацию.
Я сам реставратор мебели, вижу и знаю что говорю.
@@Ole4ka.Laaapo4ka Да, пожалуйста, соглашусь с Вами.
Александр(Честер) занимается, скорее, не реставрацией, а тем, что сейчас называется модным словом - " Реновация".
Но некоторые моменты бывают именно реставрационного характера с использованием классических, на сегодняшний день, как считают многие, "устаревших" материалов, таких, например, как конский волос, натуральная рогожа и др.
Ahti, love the vision you have to see the potential in these poor wrecked pieces. Some of my favorite scenes: cooking the wood with steam to rebend it and using the compressed air to blow the glue into the joints. I am also always impressed by your upholstery skills; nice touch re-using the seaweed stuffing. And, of course, a beautiful result (x2!), as always
To do two of them so nice. You did excellent work. thank you.
Greetings from Poland! Thank you for your amazing videos. I've always loved woodwork and since my profession is completely different, thanks to your videos I fulfill my little dream of working with wood. You are a man of great talent and the finished pieces of furniture are just stunning. Thank you!
Какая кропотливая работа! Столько труда и терпения! Отличная работа! Радует глаз!
This is not a restoration... it's a resurrection! Amazing job as usual
Well stated!
Oh yes
Unoriginal 👎🏿
💕❤
Superb. Love that you use original methods, they are going on to live their lives. Respect your work. I found myself humming music of that time.
Loved the background story associated with the chair, makes you look at it and the restoration in a fresh light. Also appreciated the informative narrative/explanations.
Как всегда высший класс, прекрасная работа, смотрится на одном дыхании!
Обыкновенный хлам превратить в шедевр. Нет слов , браво . Получаешь огромное удовольствие , наблюдая за работой Мастера с болдьшой буквы . Спасибо .
Отдельное спасибо за режиссуру ролика, где вы напомнили об ужасах прошлой войны, через которые довелось пройти и Вашему "пациенту" в образе стула, дошедшего до нашего времени, которому Вы подарили новую жизнь своим мастерством. 👍👍👍👏👏👏💥💥💥😍
Сам занимаюсь подобным хобби. Только резьбу добавляю.Стараюсь все видимые места заполнить резьбой.Но при виде клейма рука не поднялась бы изменить то что было сделано больше ста лет назад. Режу только советскую мебель и то не всегда . Подобные изменения воспринимаю как не уважение к труду мастеров тех давних времён , когда большинство процессов делалось в ручную.Конечно стул рядовой , для тех времён , и тем не менее это история.А историю мы уважаем.Мастер прав , что воссоздал первоначальный вид . Это впечатляет.
и почему-то обязательно про советскую бомбардировку
@@АлександрСинегуб-н8щ почему только на советскую мебель рука поднимается "резать"?
@@rinadych Бывают экземпляры плохой сборки,к сожалению ,но из качественной древесины.Дуб,бук в основном.Хорошее поле деятельности.Сегодня проще на помойке стул найти чем с нуля его делать.
Нужно было напомнить про ужасы бомбёжки Дрездена и Югославии англосаксами. Или там после этих бомбёжек стульев просто не осталось?
I'm impressed that someone kept these chairs, in that condition, for nearly 80 years. Were they part of a historical display? However, I'm even more impressed that they still show the scars from their brutal history but are now vibrant and ready to live again. You really did a beautiful job with them.
This guy is the epitome of a craftsman! ❤
Очень круто! Поначалу даже не верилось, что этот стул реально спасти! Отличная работа!!!
The wood! The red velvet and trim! The detail! All of it…❤️❤️❤️
Just another video where you bring back furniture that others would regard as trash. I love your skills, especially with the wood repairs and the upholstery. You gave it another lease of life.
Спасибо вам за труд! Вы лучший реставратор! С большим интересом наблюдал за вашей работой.
Sometimes I have to shake my head in disbelief at the amazing work you do! Who would’ve thought that old bombed out, dried up chair would look that incredible. Your vision when it comes to your restorations is unbelievable.
Thank you for saving one (actually 2) pieces of history that would’ve just been lost to time. Just amazing!!
Lovely, a job well done. They are a lovely pair. Together again in their former glory if not better. Thanks for your lovely professional work.
I was just a little over a month old when the chair was damaged. I love to watch your work.
Потрясающая работа! Когда увидела стул в начале видео, промелькнула мысль: это только на выбор! Результат выше всех моих ожиданий и похвал! Мастеру респект!
This was very emotional for me. I fought back tears throughout the whole journey of a war tattered chair, to a beautiful Phoenix rising from it's ashes. My father fought in WW2, and I've heard many stories from him. This is the first time I've seen anything from that time period brought back to a glorious life with your remarkable hands. Your skills are beyond amazing, and you are always a joy to watch as you work your magic. Bless you!!!
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS LOVELY CHAIR BACK TO LIFE!!!💖💖💖💖💖
I'm from Poland and it was very nice to see You restoring this piece ^_^
79 years may seem like a lifetime, but when I think that I was born only 17 years after 1944 I realise that it was only yesterday. My father fought in that war and my grandfather fought in the Great War. I researched their unit and their pain and trials.
This was a labour of love and as usual a beautiful job. Thanks for being able to not only watch your artists hands draw the beauty and life back into this sad piece of historical significance, but also honour the innocent victims of that cruel war. My heart shed a tear and my eyes followed suit.
Огромный лайк за вторую жизнь старой мебели. Вы мастер с большой буквы. Спасибо за видео.
То, что мы увидели в начале ролика, а потом в конце - это небо и земля! Невероятно сложная кропотливая работа высочайшего уровня показана пошагово, в подробностях. Вот это мастер-класс! На первый взгляд к этому стулу было страшно притронуться - убитый, безнадежный вариант, искалеченный временем и, казалось, восстановлению не подлежит - хлам, труха, дрова для печи. Но Вы доказали своим мастерством, что и такой "инвалид войны" может быть реанимирован и спасён для потомков, и будет жить и радовать ещё долгие лЕта. Браво! Аплодисменты!!! Вот это результат! 👍👍👍💯💯💯💥💥💥👏👏🤔😍
Google Translated from Russian: What we saw at the beginning of the video, and then at the end - this is heaven and earth! Incredibly complex painstaking work of the highest level is shown step by step, in detail. Here is the master class! At first glance, it was terrible to touch this chair - a dead, hopeless option, crippled by time and, it seemed, could not be restored - rubbish, dust, firewood for the stove. But you proved with your skill that such a "disabled war" can be reanimated and saved for posterity, and will live and delight for many more years. Bravo! Applause!!! Here is the result!
Wow, stunning! You do such amazing work, reconnecting all these pieces of history to modern day. And of course, bringing us along for the ride to see all of your techniques. (^.^)
Thank you so much for posting!!!
I just watched the competition videos for the chair restoration. I much prefer your approach of video making. Straight to the point, no talking, and absolute outstanding beautiful work. Thanks for the content!
Another beautiful restoration of twin chairs. Your skills are immense and your restorations show it.
My third or fourth time watching this restoration. You are simply the best!
This restoration is the perfect example of work done by a master craftsman. Unless you look closely you can hardly tell where the repairs are. Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself 🇨🇦
I have read that Restauratorsleave a trace of the damaging in some part of the piece they worked at.
I wanted to say "damage", not "damaging".
Excellent work 😊
Вы как отличный хирург!исцелил, и дал вторую жизнь стулу ветерану войны 🤗
Hard to believe that this is the same chair when the before and after pictures are compared. Wonderful job and your attention to small details is amazing. Hats off to you sir.
Был развалившийся стул и превратился в такую красоту. Браво мастеру👏
I am so impressed that this is even possible. Wow. Happy chairs returned to life!
Well done! I wouldn’t think that anyone would keep such a damaged chair for so long though I suppose that they were grateful.
Прекрасное кресло! Как замечательно вы его восстановили!
Молодец! Очень талантливо! Золотые руки и замечательные инструменты, а всё вместе- шедевр!
The chairs you restore always look so perfect, that I would almost be afraid to use them. I would be happy just looking at them. You never cease to amaze me!
This restoration touched my soul. You resurrected a piece of art and history from the destruction of war. Your work is a symbol of hope❤
Работа великолепная!!! Много дела---мало слов 👍👍👍👍 подписка!!!
Magnificent as always! Another masterpiece saved from the fireplace. I can only hope and pray that no one was killed in that house that fateful day the chair was damaged. Thank you once again Ahti for your incredible work. God bless. Rev. D.
Your love and respect for this chair shows. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.😊
Я могу смотреть на то, что вы делаете вечно! Когда ложусь спать, ваши видео меня расслабляют и успокаивают, я забываю о своих проблемах! Ваши видео, как лекарство от бессонницы. И спасибо вам, что дали жизнь этому стулу.❤️❤️❤️
Я тоже смотрю Мастера вместо бразильского сериала.
Quelle merveille comme c est émouvant de voir ces choses anciennes faites avec amour par un artisan disparu, qui renaissent et qui traverseront encore plusieurs époques
You never cease to amaze me. Genius!
The man who made them originaly must be very proud.
This is not restoration, this is art.
You got gold in your hands.
Bravo from France !
Из ничего восстановить такой шедевр!
This work is done by a master! It is incredible.
Stunning restoration! You saved a piece of history. Thank you!!
Очень красивые стулья и золотые руки у рестовратора этого старого стула -кресла .Спасибо за обзор!
I'm at awe with your work..
Watched it several times. Never gets old. Love your work...❤️
I too was choked up and tearing. My love for what you do is heart felt. When I was young and healthy I did what you do but not nearly as well. You are a good man with a heart that is seen and felt in the work you do. Thank you.
That’s BEAUTIFUL, as always great work restoring an antique piece of furniture!❣️❣️
Мастер с большой буквы! Получилась красота, почти из хлама!
79 years waiting patiently to be brought back to life with love and skill. i can't imagine what the people of Talinn went through, if only the chair could tell its secrets. a moving memorial to darker times and possibly the best restoration i have seen you do and btw all your restorations are amazing. If ever a pair of chairs needed love it was these two
I always love things that come in pairs. Those chairs are gorgeous after the detail work that gone into them.
When you say this was in the warehouse, do you mean it had not been sold when it was torn apart by war? It is beautiful what you've done to repair and restore it. If only we could all do that with our nations and be free of all war. ❤
And the beautiful upholstery too!
I never thought that I would feel sadness watching a restoration video. It
s a beautiful work!
It's gorgeous! What a brilliant restoration!
Дорогой МАСТЕР, огромная благодарность за поучительный урок!🙏🙏🙏 Многому учусь у вас!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍
I cried when I saw what you did with those sad chairs! It’s a miracle. I’ve never seen anything like it. You are truly a great artist.
It's a beautiful chair, whoever built it did a good job - You too
Поразительно! У меня есть одноклассница с фамилией Войцехович. Получила безграничное удовольствие от вашего мастерства!
Обалденное преображение! Невероятно красиво и добротно. Прослужит ещё век. 👍🤝🤝
Спасибо вам за вашу работу!
Красиво и вдохновенно, всегда любуюсь вашими произведениями искусства.
Удачи вам в ваших проектах!🎉🎉🎉
You, sir, are a true credit to your craft and your trade! This is an amazing testament to the power of restoration. 🎉
Отличная работа!!!
Восхитительно!!!
Очень хорошо!!!! Браво!
Thank you for the history.
Knew there was exciting project awaiting, and was becoming impatient 🙂
Blessings from South Africa.
Филигранно! Очень воодушевляют ваши видео!
Beautiful restoration 🥰
Восхитительная, восхитительная работа! У Вас безусловный талант!
In my opinion, I think the most amazing thing is how you can replicate the look between two chairs. If there is only one, there’s nothing to compare it to or try to match, but when there’s two or more you need to have the stain match color, the shellac match shininess, etc. Amazing work as always!
Love that he doesn't throw away bad pieces. Just fixes it. Wonderful beautiful work
Браво мастер!
Beautiful! Thank you.
Beautiful, I loved the whole video, the history of the chairs, the editing, everything!
Keep doing you ❤️🔥🏆
I love rounded back chairs, especially antique ones. Great work. ❤
Как всегда, отличная работа!!!👍🔥
I am from Poland from Krakow and I admit that I saw similar chairs in the museum at the Wawel Castle. it's great what you've done with those antiques. until a tear sprang to his eye. Thank you for your work.
