This 19 century chair is from new classicism period. In Estonia they probably belonged to German landlords or to rich merchants. It is made out of local birch and covered with black shellac. Usually there was a big set that consisted a table, sofa, 2 armchairs and 6 or more regular chairs.

This letter is written in german and i was able to decipher almost every word. It seems to be some kind of schedule for the different days of the week (Freitag/Friday, Sonnabend/Saturday, Montag/Monday, Mittwoch/Wednesday) and the planned activities/lessons (Tonleiter/scale, Schule/school, Stücke zeigen/give a rehearsal). Most importantly there is one recurring word „Kayser“ which is the old german spelling for emperor. Hoping this was helpful and enlightening, best wishes from Germany!

Thank you Karla ! That is what I saw also & the German script seems somewhat influenced by our North American script. I have old letters where the script is so archaic that I cannot decypher it. When I saw the word Kaysar, it instantly reminded me of my grandparents & old aunt's tale: the minister/priest would tell the people NEVER to speak German in public going or comint to church during World War One. Relatives were failed in school solely because they couldn't speak English well enough. This was in Canada where loyalty to the King was a lot more serious than in the USA. The City of Berlin Ontario was changed to Kitchener (British army hero). I can see why someone would hide their German note, however innocent, from prying eyes: is he/she a SPY???

I also came to the same conclusion as many other people in the comments. It indeed seemed to be a weekschedule for a German (music?) school or teacher. Kaiser is the German imperial title (btw the last German Emperor died in exile in the Netherlands after WW1). So the musician Heinrich Ernest Kayser (1815-1888) as mentioned in other comments is more likely.

I admire that you do not simply fill some damage with wood putty but take the time to fix the damage with real wood. We have become a society of shortcuts as well as disposable history. I’m always amazed when people sell their family heirlooms and think nothing of it. It hurts my soul. Thank you for taking the time and effort to restore this part of history.

I was absolutely fascinated by this restoration. I’m an ordinary 84. Year old person that found this by chance. Very well done.
The fact that someone wants this restored and at the same time someone who loves doing the restoration says to me there are still people out there with a sense of time. If you know what I mean.
I have deep respect of your skills not only in carpentry/furniture making/restoring but also in upholstering. This is a complete different craft.
The note you discovered inside the chair illustrates one of the reasons I’m drawn to buying antiques. It gives us a chance to observe the lives of those who created and owned these items, and the era in which they lived. History books can give us facts but objects used by our ancestors bring facts to life. The furniture maker who placed that handwritten list in the chair would not have believed that one day a video would reveal his work to the world.

Reminds me of Bernadette Banner reproducing a black Victorian cape. At one point, the seamstress had inexplicably used brown thread for an unseen seam. Perhaps she ran out of black thread or couldn't distinguish colors too well in the dim light and figured, "Nobody's ever going to see this anyway." (But on her very accurate copy, Bernadette also used brown thread in that spot.) The guy who stuffed that scrap of paper undoubtedly felt the same way: "Nobody's ever going to see this." 135,000 of us and counting, fella.

I am just guessing here. But it says something about a „Gauleiter“ in the first line. That was some title used before second world war. And the type of writing, called „Sütterlin“ was mainly used in that period as well, as far as I know. In the third line he (?) reminded himself (in brackets) to „show strength“ on Saturday.
From the restored cushions to turning missing bullseye pieces, your work is above most in your field. Much admired.
Beautiful job!! I wish more people realized all the work that goes into doing a proper restoration job correctly. They have a tendency to want to argue over price. My husband is a retired locomotive engineer and was taught basic woodworking by his grandfather (Scottish) and father (British/Canadian). I have been a seamstress for 50 years, taught by my grandmother (German) and I had sewn curtains, lined drapes, made my own winter coats, a Harris tweed jacket for my husband, pillowcases, duvet covers, my daughters prom dresses with boning, all the clothing for my two children, snow suits, and nightgowns for myself and daughter, p.j.’s for my husband, and son, and dresses for my great aunt. I also sewed a complete layette for my second child and made all the diapers for both - and sewed my maternity clothes. Back then there were no disposable diapers yet. I remember having a customer that seemed to require an old three-panel dressing screen re- done immediately. The wood was gorgeous, but needed a lot of help.There were many old beveled glass pieces in the top of each panel that required cleaning. I also had to redo the gold paint they said they had rubbed on it for highlights. ( I found out it wasn’t really gold paste, so I had to get some).The fabric was purchased by them (silk) and they didn’t allow extra for matching the pattern in their fabric. Luckily, I had a nice amount of a piece of fabric that was also more in keeping with the result they wanted. I worked on it for three solid days to meet his deadline (and had to keep answering his phone calls every three hours or so.). But they were over the moon with the end product. It is a shame that this type of work is no longer being taught in schools or passed down through families. They aren’t allowing night school classes anymore, saying that it cost too much money (to keep the lights on) and extra people on duty in the evenings. But there just are no places where people can get together to learn these type of skills with expertise and the right tools anymore. Young adults have a hard time today learning “trade” jobs. I was also lucky to be offered work through an art gallery because they had customers who often needed very old collectable clothing (sports memorabilia, an old swimming “dress” from 1932, and other very old pieces passed down) that needed to be preserved by using 100% natural fibres and threads. I also had to use these natural materials, attach to all the sides of the frames from the back, using hand sewing. I had to make and learn how to attach the final articles (all hand stitching). I really loved the work, though. Thank you for such a wonderful presentation. My oldest piece to repair was a small window curtain from “butter gauze”, from 1936 and it was hard matching the identical colour in the “natural “ type and colour of thread. But I love a challenge !! Thank you again!
It is heartwarming to see someone work with traditional upholstery methods and materials, instead of just foam. And I'm so glad you did what I hoped you would do and preserve the letter inside the chair again. Well done on a splendid restoration.
If anyone ever wondered why reupholstery services are so expensive - here's your answer. What an incredible amount of work (and patience) there is that goes into chair restoration! Beautiful job!

The letter is written in German. A old version of handwriting.

G'day, Herr Von Muppet! I tried reading the paper and, to me, the word looked more like Tonleiter (scales in music), especially at the bottom of the page. I could be wrong. I can see why you might draw the conclusion that it was written during WWII, as "Gauleiter" was a regional director in the Third Reich. That, incidentally, was the role of the character Herr Zeller in "The Sound of Music".

know Nancy, his upholstery skills aren't exceptional they good even very good but definitely not exceptional as an upholsterer myself I saw several missed steps from a traditional stand point. although his overall finished pice looked stunning. I have add my own professional comments to this vlog, I believe this skillful gentleman is more of a woodcraft expert then a upholsterer although he's clearly nail on most of the fundamental skill sets of an upholsterer. However I feel it's my duty to pass on those missing key espects, apart from my add comments, he's missed a calico undercover finished skin wadding, blind stitch these are all traditional skills but rarely used today due in part to time restrictions & of course costing, less time equals a less expensive product. I've absolutely no wish to discredit this very skillful man but nor do wish to see him given more credit then he deserves.
Another masterful restoration. Your talent at upholstery and genius woodworking skills are absolutely astonishing.
