I restored 300 year old CORNER CABINET with secret compartments

- In this video I will restore 300 year old corner cabinet and I discover many
unusual things along the way. This cabinet had two layers of paint. The first, original one had multicolor solution. The second one was from the 19 century, painted as faux wood, that was popular at this time. After consulting with two other restorers, we decided that, the right thing would be to restore the latest version. Because iboth layers have now historical value and if I would strip the top layer, I probably would strip most of the old paint along the way. Then I need to repaint it, but it will not be old then. It is possible to clean only the top paint, but it will be very expensive solution.

About the color choice. After I was consulting with two other restorers, we decided that, the right thing would be to restore the latest version. Because both paint layers have now historical value and if I would strip the top layer, I probably would strip most of the old original paint along the way. Then I need to repaint it, but, it will not be old then. It is possible to clean only the top paint, but it will be very expensive solution. My client didn't want to pay extra, to restore the original color. So when I combined all those facts, the final choice was easy for me.
Thanks for sharing this video and this information !
Great job as usual 😊
But I've got one question, what was written on the cabinet ? 😅
Seems logical!
Beautiful work, as always! ❤🇦🇺 And what was written on the cabinet door??? 🤔
Indeed, sometimes very difficult choices have to be made when doing restoration work! Just curious: Was too much of the name and date that had been painted in gold gone to be able to accurately restore that detail, or was it the client's choice not to restore it?
@@LadyMitcly Don't know yet :)
Well you know what they say... If it's not baroque.... Don't fix it 😂
A very classical saying
Where’s the face slap emoji?
How f....king hideous ! Fixed up or left dirty.
😂😂😂
😂
While it can be fun to watch the transformation of a modern, mass produced piece of furniture, nothing compares to watching a master restorer literally bring a beautiful old piece back to life!! Bravo!!❤️
What is this 'spot on' you speak of?
Absolutely gorgeous!
I'm totally fascinated by AT Restoration videos, it's like watching Michelangelo performing his magic.
I really don't understand why you dont have at least a million subscribers. 💚
I know, right?!
Have you sent anybody a link to any of his vids?
I can’t help but wonder what the colorful version must have looked like.
Google "swedish allmoge skåp" and you get a pretty good idea!
It does look beautiful how it is now, but yes, I could see blue, green and pink underneath! It must have been gorgeous!
@@Fruity_lexia I still couldn't tell what the writing said.
Once again, you have done an amazing job hat's off to a true master I look forward to watching you work
Yes, I wish that part could be figured out. I personally found the overall look to be quite dark, and the colors would have relieved that.
Any piece of furniture would be grateful for AT's exquisite touch. Thanks for posting.
I love watching the different skill sets to restore these pieces. Unfortunately I’ve run out of words to say how great they are.
Me too
Glad you left it looking old, but in better condition. You are an expert in faux grain painting techniques
Wow. I am blown away by how great it looks. You can't see the repairs but just the beauty of that cabinet. You are so knowledgeable and so willing to share that knowledge. Thank you, Ahti, for this video. Your excellent storytelling, videography, and editing made me feel like I was standing next to you. This was a treat. Thanks again.
This piece looked far beyond hope of any restoration. But you worked your magic, Ahti. What a difference
Your work is absolutely _priceless._ I hope your clients realize what a gem they have in you.
I love it that you didn't remove all signs of age, but you made it whole and sound so it will last another couple of centuries.
Oh my gosh, how absolutely stunning! I can’t believe you did that in 18 days! It is so wonderful to watch you restore a piece like this. You’re very multitalented. I always enjoy watching your videos. ❤😊❤
This must have been a Swedish ship‘s cabinet from the captain‘s cabin. In the secret compartiment he probably keept his finest bottles. Again an amazing piece of restoration, Ahti!
What a beautiful job you did on this 300 year-old baroque piece of furniture.
You breathed new life in it for a new family to enjoy.❤
When mister managed to make the key. He really saved the old cabinet. Some of my great great grandmother old cabinet doesnt have a key anymore. And I dont want to forced open it.
This was an amazing restoration! The cabinet is beautiful and you even restored the 3 locks and keys!❤
It's beautiful NOW. Didn't look too handsome before Ahti worked his magic.
I love your amazing work and your sense of humour.
When an artist works, I'm simply admiring!
This Swedish cabinet has a smorgasbord amount of curves.This was a daring yet successful job despite how difficult it was.Congratulations!!
Як завжди - неймовірно! Браво Майстру!❤🎉
Ahti's grin to the camera when he has a win with his "mad invention" = gold!!!😃
Thank you for taking the time and patience to film this awesome restoration. I am not likely to ever see such a piece in real life in my neck of the woods, but your videos and expert editing really tell such an interesting story, as is the fascination of watching you work your magic. Two thumbs up mate!
As always, we saw a suitable reconstruction full of techniques and ideas. Personally, as a carpenter and restorer, I liked the repair of the upper part of this piece, and at the same time, it is valuable to me that you implemented the design with a lathe. Great and don't be tired for all this trouble💚🤍❤
You are amazing! Astonishing! Awe inspiring! I love watching your videos because it is such a pleasure to see a true Master at work. I also love your videos because you always work on beautiful pieces, and your work respects the original design and the original woodworkers. ❤ I agree with the previous comment, tho: It would have been great to see the former colors.
I could watch you work all day! You are the BEST
Just had a bit of AT therapy.
Вы смахнули пыль веков и из замарашки сделали шедевр❤
Ahti, you have created yet another masterpiece! You are a man of many talents and many skills. I think you used all of them in this piece. It makes me so happy to see an old piece like this look OLD, but yet well CARED for. I don't want them to look like new. You are such a dedicated man, and I can believe that it took 18 days to complete this. It needed a lot of repairs. The final reveal literally made me gasp. I was so stunned. Even though I expect all of your works to turn out beautifully, this one brought a tear to my eye. You are the Master, Ahti! I just watching you work your magic on these pieces. Thank you!!!
It’s pleasure watching you restoring old furnitures. Thank you 🫶👍🏻
That looks amazing. My late father was a Caroenter/joiner. Tge hours I spent watching him in his workshop. I miss those days so much and the smell of wood. If I smell know, it transport me right back to his workshop of wood and savings. Happy memories ❤❤❤
As always, a masterful restoration. Bravo!
Hello 👋🏻 from Portugal 🇵🇹.
A very strange and mixed fillings about this restoration. 🤔
Of course it's very well done, as usual.
but also things were dome which made me wince
How wonderful! You find the most unique old pieces and restore them beautifully!
The pieces find him. He's a professional restorer. People seek his services
Master Carpenter AND a blacksmith!! That lock was worth mending. ❤
Does my heart good to watch a master craftsman take a piece that once was new and beautiful, and had become dilapidated and in a sad state, and return it to its' former glory. I admire what you do.
Спасибо за видео, это прекрасная работа 👍
Sitting here appreciating the sounds in this video - sawing, sanding, drilling, grinding, hammering, etc. - and thinking how cool it would be to write a piece of music around it somehow. What a beautiful piece of furniture this hunk of damage turned out to be. And I must add excellent editing. Kudos!
Beautiful restoration, Ahti. It was a sensible choice to maintain the original paint layers under the new ones, from a historical standpoint. Well done.
Thank you for not adding horrid music to this lovely video. The organic sounds of handiwork are very soothing to my soul.
I could watch things like this for DAYS. Especially wood turning😅😅😅
Beautiful work, Ahti. I appreciate how you didn’t fully restore it to look new and kept the antique look.
Thank you for including your thought process in the description.
A stunning restoration that was as enjoyable to watch as it was for you to do.
Cheers from Canada🍁
Wow. Just wow. You’ve restored a masterpiece.
When you showed us the colors of this beautiful corner cabinet, I was hoping you would repaint the pieces in those colors. Of course, if they’re not the original paint colors or the owner did not want them there was not much you could do, but do the best restoration you could and you did. Beautiful work.
You are indeed an artisan within your trade, sir!
Привет,мое солнышко ! Давно не видела вас ,и скучала .Все что ты делаешь это не просто красиво ,это талантливо .У вас появились новые инструменты ,которых я раньше не видела .Таким как вы нужна гос.поддержка для приобретения необходимого инструмента 😊😊.потому что вы не просто восстанавливаете ,но и сохраняете таким образом наше представление о прошлом !!! Попасть бы в такие руки "на реставрацию "😂😂
Thank you for sharing your love for restoration.
It was a pleasure to watch each stage.
A labor of love.

That looks amazing! It’s good to leave a few dings and knocks as they are; they’re part of the piece’s 300 years of faithful service. I love the way you bring things back to life! ❤🇬🇧🏴
Wonderful, as ever. THank you!
What a precious antique cabinet, beautifully transformed!
It's such a shame that people can ignore these beautiful pieces of furniture. Some people paint over that beautiful timber 🪵 it brakes my heart ❤
Великолепный результат!
A very difficult piece indeed, congratulations for another excellent restoration !
just what fathers day is for . Good relaxing renovations project.
Nothing like one of your videos to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon! Meticulous and careful restoration of this very old (and damaged) piece. I also thought it might have spent some time on a ship given the decorative motif. It's beautiful again now, and can serve for many more years to come. Great restoration!
When the video started I saw the piece in it's needy condition. That was immediately replaced (in my mind's eye) by a beautifully restored one. When you finished, the pic I had seen was almost as good as what your magic manifested.
If I could restore furniture as well as my intuition works...(and that's damn well)...I still wouldn't be as good as you. You're Der Restorererer. 😁
There’s only one word for this restoration, fantastic!!!
Just cleaning this piece, made a world of difference.
So great to see your skills in action! What a magnificent restoration. I missed your wonderful videos and your good humor. Once again, congratulations, handsome master!👏👏👏
It is an honour to watch a master craftsman at work. Thank you.
A real treasure brought back to brilliant condition! So beautiful! Well done!
Здравствуйте, Ахти. Какая нвероятно красивая супер древняя вещь попала в ваши волшебные ручки! Очень интересно было наблюдать за превращением, как всегда))) Невероятная красота! И потрясающая бережная работа!
Wow. Super restoration. Very nice. Regards
Extraordinary labour of love❤ so good to see old items saved for the future.
As per usual you excelled! The patina left really validates its age. Beautifully restored. 👍🏼🇦🇺😊
Beautiful! It still shows it has a history. Great save!
See the intricate carpentry of those days, fabulous so beautiful worth repairing.
When you made the oak grains by hand I caught myself cursing out loud! You're an artist, sir. My respects!
Кабинету 300 лет, надо было собрать пыль в баночку и сдать ее в музей😁
You've done some fine work on this cabinet. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Золотые руки! Браво!
Superbe restauration ! Bravo pour votre travail, toujours passionnant à regarder !
I’ve watched your videos before but this restoration is my absolute favorite. You are an artist. Your work is amazing. Love it!
Yet another master class in restoration. Mesmerising to watch.
TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful! Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talents with the world
Oh, my! I haven’t watched, yet, but just seeing it in its original condition - it’s amazing!
Now that I’ve watched the whole video, I’m even more impressed. Well done!
As ever Ahti, a fantastic restoration. You do amazing work. Thank you for the video.
Wow!!! You truly are a master of your craft! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am always amazed by what you do to the pieces you work on!!! Just stunning!!!
Te ha quedado precioso, un placer verte trabajar
I'll bet this was a beautiful piece in it's original state with all the color. You did a wonderful restoration, very nice!!
Wow! Simply beautiful!
Это прям медитация какая-то... Волшебная вещь, навевает грезы, бередит прошлые жизни в сознании... Мастерство соответствует! Здорово, что такая историческая вещь попала к одаренному мастеру и снова явилась в полном блеске в этот мир...
This is beautiful. You have some serious skill and some knowledge to go with them. Wow let me watch a MASTER at work. 18 days and you transformed that cabinet into a seriously gorgeous cabinet. You have a great day
What a stunning restoration! Honestly you do such fabulous work! Thanks for sharing it with us, it’s a joy to watch you.
Aitäh meisterliku restaureerimise eest! Mul on hea meel, et jagate oma restaureerimisi meie teistega. Mulle meeldis klassis puidutöötlemine ja mul on hea meel, et kuigi minu elu tähendas, et minust ei saanud kapiust, siis sinu omast sai.
P.S. John's Furniture Restoration on tema treipingi jaoks välja töötanud vaakumkinnitust. Usun, et tunnete teda sajandi keskpaiga kaasaegsest väljakutsest.
Tänan veelkord ja kõike paremat Soome vaataja poolt.
This is one of my favorites! Wonderful!
You’re amazing. Sometimes I don’t like the stain or color but I always say…YOU MUST trust the process ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
На вид,за такой старый,трухлявый кабинет было рил страшно браться... Но вы взялись и как всегда сотворили чудо! Это потрясающе! Теперь этот старый добрый кабинет проживет ещё триста лет... а может и больше.....
Once again you have outdone yourself. A magnificent best options restoration of a fascinating historical piece. Thank you for your excellently produced video.
Como nuevo!!!!😊....durará para muchos años....
Saludos desde ANDALUCÍA ESPAÑA ❤

Ein sorgfältiger und liebevoller Künstler am Werk 😊
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
Just amazing, AT!
This is amazing! What a fabulous piece. Makes sense that it would be on a ship to me with the water damage and the hidden compartments. Great job on the restoration!
