When you started cleaning with the alcohol, you could almost hear the wood breathing again. Such beauty under all that filth. The brass turned out so beautifully. What an awesome save!! Absolutely beautiful. ❤❤❤
I disagree. If this is a true antique you don’t want to put alcohol on that old wood. It is too drying. Better to use plain soap and water. And especially if the piece is veneered as this one looks to be. Just an old antique collectors words of advice. Take them or leave them as you wish.
The handles on this piece were incredibly intricate. I despaired that you couldn't retain then, but amazingly, you did. Your attention to detail in repairing the veneer was absolutely fascinating to watch. Bravo! 🥰 Beautiful restoration.
I often wonder why are your videos so satisfying to watch. It must be a combination of your restoration techniques that are so respectful of the original artististry and craftsmanship, your own skill and passion for this work, and the sheer joy of seeing such antique beauty restored to its former glory. I also love your wife's commentary at the end, giving context and detail about the where the piece fits into history. Bravo!
Thank you for an amazing education in how to respectfully restore an antique. No harsh chemicals, no electric tools, no quick finishes, just many hours of mindful detail work by hand. Pieces like this are mankind’s heritage and you have honored every tree and artisan that created it.
I was wondering if this piece could be restored it looked so dry and the veneer broken, but wow you have done a marvelous job! What are gorgeous piece! I love the burl patterns and the rich tones! Stunning restoration! :)
The moment i opened the video, i saw the burled veneer and KNEW this would be a gorgeous piece! Great restoration! And thank you for the History, Veronica! This is one of my very favorite channels. Thank y'all so much!
Radek, I watch furniture restorers and you would hold your own with all of them. That was so well done and, while I'm not an antique person, I would love to have this in my house. Veronica, once again a wonderful history lesson about wood working and marquetry. This was a fun video.
*_WOW!!! The most magnificent piece that I've watched you restore since I've subscribed. It's AWESOME! And it's so relaxing to watch you working the magic._*
That was a huge undertaking Radek. I thought that piece was beyond saving, however you showed us how to do it. The veneer work, countless hours of sanding, even French polishing. Amazing work.
Here in America we have a saying, "turning a sows ear into a silk pure". It means transforming something from worn back into something beautiful. That is what you have done here. You have restored an antique to its natural beauty. Well done!
Good restoration job. It is my opinion that veneer repairs and joinery repairs should be made with hide glue so that they can be reversed for future repairs.
все там видно! но только если знать куда смотреть и присматриваться, а в целом отличная работа, одно из немногих видео которое реально как инструкция и докопаться не до чего..... мой стол людовика 14 сейчас стоит ждет.......
I have to admit, Orientals are not my thing....but this is gorgeous. The intricacy, the meticulous tension to detail, and the polish...I was blown away. Very beautiful, impressive restoration of an old piece. Nice job! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful piece! I love it! I like the way that you pop up what kind of glue that you are working with but would love to see the same for what types of wood of the pieces and wood veneers your working with 😊
Вот это настоящая,бережная реставрация.Только большому мастеру под силу такая реставрация.Вы проделали титанический труд.Кропотливо и очень бережно ❤❤.Получилось восстановленное, прекрасное произведение искусства.Браво!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Привет из Петербурга! Совершенный и очень красивый. Сделан с душой и отреставрирован с любовью. И не из отходов дерева и пластика, а из НАСТОЯЩЕГО дерева. Комод с душой, я бы сказал. Как мне нравится такая мебель, наверное я очень старый. Великолепная работа, Радек! На месте Вероники я бы немедленно объявил этот комод своей исключительной собственностью.
I have watched hundreds of furniture restoration videos and this is definately one of the BEST. Very meticulous, skilful and thorough jobs resulting in a stunning piece of furniture magically brought back to its best.
The love with which an old piece of furniture is given a new lease of life is phenomenal. Beautiful work, a pleasure to watch. And the result is sensational. Thank you for this experience.❤❤❤
Searching for restauration videos, this morning I stumbled over your channel. It was a lucky surprise and I immediately subscribed. Dear Radek (and partner) congratulatons with this format. I viewed all your videos of "chest-restauration" on your channel so far and I`m impressed. Please continue, we are looking forward to the next furniture restauration video. Have a nice week, Best regards from Robert - Germany
Pretty sure the people who originally bought this, were very wealthy. It's absolutely stunning. And it is a delight to see it being restored so skillfully.
What you did was absolutely incredible. Never in my wildest imagination did I think you could restore this chest into something beautiful once again. I love it. It came out beautiful. ~Kevin
This is a beautiful restoration. Making over the top restorations and leaving the patina, and where the piece appears to have been "well cared for" rather than "made to look new again", it's like breathing life into a respected and admired old friend. To je krásná rekonstrukce. Zhotovení horních výplní a ponechání patiny a tam, kde se zdá, že o kus bylo „dobře postaráno“ spíše než „vyrobeno tak, aby vypadalo znovu jako nové“, je to jako vdechnout život váženému a obdivovanému starému příteli.
The perfect piece to work on. Those drawers and the frame and "bones" of the thing were in GREAT shape. Whomever built this long ago did a great job. It just needed a to have the outside restored and all the beauty of the wood highlighted. Sure that was a LOT of work. But the results speak for themselves.
WOW!!! What an amazing transformation. It's a shame that this beautiful piece of furniture was allowed to get in such shabby condition. Bravo for bringing it back to life. It will have an amazing future for families to come.😊
I haven’t even finished your video, and I am so impressed with your technique and the great care you take to restore, as opposed just to improve appearance! I’m sure it is day when it was new it was gorgeous and very well thought of an extremely expensive. How I wish that I could have someone help me work or do the work for me to restore my armoire. Your work is just gorgeous. I’m going to finish the video now.
Absolutely stunning! Not just the amazingly beautiful finish, but also the skill and patience you put into restoring this magnificent work of art! And the history lesson that followed was also very interesting!
When you started cleaning with the alcohol, you could almost hear the wood breathing again. Such beauty under all that filth. The brass turned out so beautifully. What an awesome save!! Absolutely beautiful. ❤❤❤
Thank you very much for the kind words Barbara :)

Cheap brass handles and a lock plate with no lock.....speaks volumes.
Could you tell me what are the benefits to clean with alcohol the wood? I really don't know...
LINDO MESMO 👍🏻
The handles on this piece were incredibly intricate. I despaired that you couldn't retain then, but amazingly, you did. Your attention to detail in repairing the veneer was absolutely fascinating to watch. Bravo! 🥰 Beautiful restoration.
Thank you very much for your trust.
I’ve never seen anything like the hairpin looking centers on that piece. Fascinating.

Awesome job thanks for sharing your skills.
Radek and Verônica, this piece of furniture took work, but it was overwhelming, it was magnificent. Congratulations on this beautiful work.👏👏👏👏
Yes you are right but it was worth it. Thanks for watching my friend.
WOW, an absolutely stunning restoration. Well done, Radek. And thank you Veronica for today's history lesson.
I thank you Neil :)
Thank you for not painting this piece.

Згоден з Вами
Thank you so much :)
Замечательная работа! Единственно не понял как подобрали шпон на тех местах, где проводилась замена. После реставрации вставок не видно. ❤
все там видно! но только если знать куда смотреть и присматриваться, а в целом отличная работа, одно из немногих видео которое реально как инструкция и докопаться не до чего..... мой стол людовика 14 сейчас стоит ждет.......

There are so many different wood grains. They are beautiful. Beautiful job.
So beautiful! Thank you 👍🏻
Thank you so much :)
Fantastic Radek, replacing the veneer alone must have took ages, you must have the patience of a Saint, well done another brilliant restoration.
Thanks my friend :)
I really enjoy your descriptions and history of the restored pieces you work on. That chest is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much :)
Beautifully renovated. What can I say, now I'm impressed by your talents.
I'm glad, thank you :)
You did some amazing job taking such careful care with the veneer. The piece is just stunning. Thank you for showing us your work.
Thank you very much :)
You have wonderful patience. Those tedious repairs are looking marvelous. I enjoy every video. Thank you.
Can’t wait to see this lovely restoration! Birdseye maple, beautiful “jewelry”.....just stunning! This is my favorite, bar none!
Thank you very much for watching.
Is there anything Radek can't do? Absolutely brilliant restoration, the chest is stunning.

Совершенный и очень красивый. Сделан с душой и отреставрирован с любовью. И не из отходов дерева и пластика, а из НАСТОЯЩЕГО дерева. Комод с душой, я бы сказал.

Я рад, друг мой, но это тоже не мое, это заказчика.
