The Craftsman style home has realized revival and renaissance largely because of its simplicity and its inherent quality construction and materials. Craftsman style and Mission style are often considered synonymous and justifiably so. Gustav Stickley is initially responsible for the term “Craftsman” style as he developed furniture in a more simple, straight aesthetic and in larger in proportions. It was in part, a reaction to the busy swirling and floral carvings found in the Victorian movement. Designing with simple lines worked for the American public, who were apparently ready for something different than Victorian, which is understandable. The style, self-titled “Craftsman,” became better known as “Mission” with the publicity that followed. Gustav and his team of designers and draftsmen, created sketches and plans and hired traveling salesmen to collect orders. As the business grew, Gustav published furniture plans, wrote a magazine, designed houses, all of which supported the new concept of “simple.” He was the King of this self-created reality, and we honor him for that effort.
Locating appropriate restoration and decor products can be very challenging for the homeowner, contractor or builder. Oak Park Home & Hardware (OPHH) has assembled a comprehensive collection of period restoration reproduction items in the Craftsman-Mission style. Our largest product lines include Craftsman Style Lighting for interior and exterior installation such as Craftsman-Mission chandeliers, sconces, lanterns and more. We frequently assist our customers in the selection of their Craftsman-Mission lighting through email. Customer can email pictures, drawings, etc. to us and we can communicate through email or by phone. We also do custom lighting solutions for our customers. Because we have a very focused Craftsman Style line of lighting, we have become well versed in all of our product lines, unlike many other Internet based lighting stores. Most of our products are made in USA by either an individual Craftsperson or small company.
Copper was a very popular material throughout the Craftsman era. As many of you know, in recent years, raw copper has become costly and a valuable commodity. Many of our products feature the extensive use of copper. We offer hammered copper mailboxes, mail slots, house numbers, and doorbells for exterior application. Our Craftsman style, handcrafted solid copper cabinet hardware, bath hardware, and switch plates are some of our most popular items. There are many to select from and we believe we offer the largest selection of Craftsman-Mission Style hardware on the Internet. Our solid copper Craftsman Style accessories such copper vases, bowls, and bookends are very popular items, particularly during the Holiday season. As with most of our products, we can accommodate custom requests and provide drawings for quote.
Our Craftsman style and Mission style wool rugs are some of the highest quality products offered. Oak Park Home & Hardware has been working with the Tiger Rug Company for many years. Tiger Rug carpets are of superior quality, are hand knotted in Nepal of 100% Tibetan wool from Himalayan Mountain sheep, which produce some of the finest wool available for weaving carpets. Bar none, these are heirloom quality rugs! We can provide custom sized rugs as well as custom shaped rugs for our customers. Please inquire.
