Book Description:
Arts and Crafts design, characterized by clean, graceful lines and
solid workmanship with quality materials, has experienced an explosion
of popularity over the past decade with museums, collectors, and the
general public. William Morris, Gustav Stickley, and Frank Lloyd Wright
are among some of the most well-known designers who produced furniture
and architecture in the Arts and Crafts style, while many others
produced ceramics, glass, textiles, wallpaper, and silverware in the
same vein. A comprehensive survey of one of America's most enduring and
popular interior design styles, reflecting both traditional and
contemporary interpretations, this lavishly illustrated and informative
volume begins with a discussion of the origins of the Arts and Crafts
movement at the turn of the century and traces its evolution to the
present day. Over 140 glorious, full-color photographs showcase the
special beauty of this simple, graceful style and depict the hallmarks
of its design impeccable construction and proportions, the use of
enduring woods, exquisite finishes, hand-wrought hardware, and other
unique touches in every object pictured, all in the context of
contemporary homes. From a New York estate filled with rare Roycroft
pieces to a Beverly Hills mansion furnished in Mission oak, the book
not only provides a rare glimpse into the collector's world but offers
a visual blueprint for incorporating this engaging style into any
household, a source index explains how to identify original pieces and
directs the consumer to places where both authentic and reproduction
Arts and Crafts furniture and objects can be obtained. An invaluable
and inspirational reference for decorators and collectors at all
levels, In the Arts and Crafts Style combines splendid
photography and an enlightening text into a treasured, one-of-a-kind
volume as classic and timeless as the style to which it pays tribute.
