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."

If this chair could speak, it would say, thank you so much, I thought I was dead. Beautiful work.

Невероятно, казалось шансов у этого стула не было. На деле получился как новый. Браво мастеру, золотые руки.(Беларусь, Минск)

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?!

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.

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.

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.
