Restoration of an antique chest

- Welcome to today's video where you saw the restoration of antique dressers with a series of drawers on short legs.
Antique furniture and chests of drawers have an interesting history.
In the past, people often bought antique furniture for modern interiors.
A combination of modern and antique furniture is popular today.
Styles that are popular include 1st Republic design, art-deco functionalism, and even socialist-era style.
Antique chests of drawers are highly valued pieces of furniture and can come from different periods and styles such as Baroque, Rococo, Empire or Art Nouveau.
These chests of drawers are made of high-quality wood and decorated with details from different types of veneer. This technique is called marquetry.
The word intarsia means insertion in Arabic. It is a technique that they already used in Egypt.
Exceptionally beautiful marquetry was born in the Italian Renaissance, where temples were mainly decorated with richly inlaid patterns. This Italian style spread throughout Europe.
Inlay can be seen on various wooden objects, including chests of drawers, tables, cabinets, musical instruments. This technique makes it possible to create complex and detailed patterns that give furniture and objects a unique and luxurious look. The marquetry at Lešná Castle is also significant.
And that's all for today's video. If you liked our video and would like to see more interesting content, give us your subscription, like share with your friends and write a comment. I look forward to seeing you again next time :)

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 :)
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.
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 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 the nice words :)
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.
Can’t wait to see this lovely restoration! Birdseye maple, beautiful “jewelry”.....just stunning! This is my favorite, bar none!
WOW, an absolutely stunning restoration. Well done, Radek. And thank you Veronica for today's history lesson.
I thank you Neil :)
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.
Thank you very much for the beautiful and encouraging comment. Greetings from the Czech Republic.
You do deserve a Nobel prize for skill and patience.
Great job!!
Wow, thank you :)
Отличный канал, шикарная реставрация. Итог изумительный. Лайк однозначно🙏💕.
Спасибо, будем рады видеть вас в следующем видео.
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! :)
Thank you Debra for the beautiful and kind comment.
You are very welcomed. I love your videos! :)@@VeradonaRestoration

Absolutely gorgeous wood 😊 so glad you saved it
Unreal that wood came back that beautifully. Most people would have
put that on the dump.
Thank you so much Julie :)
Thank you for watching.
I fell in love with it even before you renovated it. Gorgeous piece
I'm glad, thank you very much Lynn :)
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!
We are happy, thank you very much :)
WOW! This is Beautiful. So much detail work - Great job!
Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked the dresser :)
Очень интересно! Очень нравится окончание, разказ о предметах после реставрации. Хорошая работа!
Нам приятно, спасибо за просмотр.
Beautiful restoration, thank you both for all you do and for all the entertainment.
Thank you for watching and nice comment :)
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.
We are pleased, thank you for watching :)
What a puzzle game work! Loved the finish result. So gorgeous!❤
Thank you Karin, I'm glad you liked the result.
Love the light tones. Beautiful restoration.
Thank you for watching :)
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.😊
Beautiful dresser
Thank you Stacey :)
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.
Thank you very much my friend :)
Beautiful Restoration!😊❤
Згоден з Вами
Thank you so much :)
Wow. Just wow. I’m almost at a loss for words!
Watching you repair the marquetry was so satisfying. The finished project is stunning!
Thank you very much Shirley Ann :)
*_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._*
Thank you very much :)
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.
So beautiful! Thank you 👍🏻
Thank you so much :)
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.
That was the most significant change in a piece of furniture I have seen in some time. Beautiful workmanship, thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you so much for watching Paul :)
You can see how beautiful the piece it even at it’s worst
Комод стал шикарный!!!
Спасибо я рада.
Радек , Вероника ! Прекрасная реставрация ! Дальнейших успехов вам ! Привет из России !

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!
Thank you very much Steve :)

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.
Я рад, друг мой, но это тоже не мое, это заказчика.
Restauración muy respetuosa, el mueble lo merece 👌👍🇪🇸🌹🌹🌹
Absolutely gorgeous work!!

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.
