The Arts & Crafts Movement began as a response to the
Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, first in England and
then in the United States. It idealized the craftsman and embraced
simple, strong designs executed by hand. The art, metalwork,
pottery, textiles, and furniture of the Arts & Crafts Movement
are enormously popular in today's antique market, and the designs
are inspiring a whole new wave of creativity. This new book
explores the Movement on both sides of the Atlantic. It focuses on
furniture, which Gustav Stickley called the "clearest concrete
expression of the Craftsman idea," and also includes large
representations of all the decorative arts. It covers a broad range
of items, from the rarest to the common. All of the pieces have
been on the market and are accessible to collectors at various
levels. The pieces are illustrated in over 500 full-color
photographs. Each is carefully described and an estimate of its
current value is given. Many English and nearly all American
manufacturers are represented, as are the hundreds of forms that
evolved during this period of design. This new addition to the
literature on Arts and Crafts will be of great interest to
collectors and dealers alike, helping them to appreciate and
evaluate their cherished treasures.
