In this video, I restore an antique Art Nouveau stool made between the 1900s and 1920s. I bought this forgotten stool from a Flea Market in Poland and worked on it with great pleasure for about one week.
The piano stool was in a state of disrepair when I got it. The old finish was almost gone; it was cracked, with a few spots of rotten wood and the top leather full of dirt and stains.
The restoration process was challenging but rewarding. I learned much about furniture and leather restoration and am very proud of the finished product.
If you want to learn more about antique piano stools or furniture restoration, I encourage you to watch this video.
More about the restoration/transformation process:
As mentioned above, I bought this piano stool from a vast flea market for about $25.
The process of restoring the Art Nouveau stool went well. I used various types of stains, made my shellac, and cleaned and restored the old leather. This part was probably the most challenging because it was the first time I had to fix such an old lather, but I think I managed pretty well.
The crack was filled with epoxy, and the wood was treated with a rosewood stain before staining.
The rotten wooden part was replaced with the same type of wood and carved and sanded nicely until it got the stool leg's shape.
I cleaned the rusted parts with a 2000-watt laser. It was satisfactory, and everything went quickly. If you want to learn more about this machine, www.sfxlyxc.co...
After removing the rust, the parts were painted and nickel-plated.
I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you!
Cheers! Johnny.
