Antique Thonet No. 14 Chair Restoration and Refinish

The Thonet steam bentwood chairs were the first chairs to be mass-produced. This one still had all of the original square bolts and screws. This was mostly a refinish job. The owner wanted to see the original beechwood unstained.

The paint was very difficult to remove and I'm not sure if it was factory paint as someone had worked on it before. It would be impossible to remove all of the stains, but it has a nice antique look about it now and the original beech wood is stunning. The pattern on the seat is also quite nice, a very well-made chair.

Thanks for watching. Please let me know what you think or if you have any questions.
