The builders BROKE the chair! / 1930-s chair repair

  • Some years ago I restored this chair, but the client brought it back to me for repair, because his home builders accidentally broke the legs. This chair type was very common here in Estonia through 1920-1930. Its made of oak and the backrest is made of plywood and walnut veneer. Usually there is set of 6 chairs and a extendable table. After 1940 they started to use cheaper materials and also the design was simplyfied.

    It's interesting that the builders won't own up for breaking the chair. Probably ripped off the cliet too. Thank goodness for restoration masters.
