In this groundbreaking reassessment of the conventional
understanding of a cohesive 'Arts and Crafts movement' in Britain,
Imogen Hart argues that a sophisticated mode of looking at
decorative art developed in England during the second half of the
nineteenth century. Bringing to light a significant number of
little-known visual and textual sources, Arts and Crafts Objects
insists that the history of British design between the 1830s and
the 1910s is more complex and interwoven than concepts of clearly
differentiated 'movements' allow for. Reinvesting the objects with
the original importance ascribed to them by their makers and users,
this book places furniture, metalwork, tiles, vases, chintzes,
carpets, and wallpaper at the centre of a rigorous reassessment of
the concept of 'Arts and Crafts'. The book offers radical new
interpretations of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society and the
homes of William Morris, alongside illuminating analyses of less
familiar but equally rich contexts. -- .
