Arts and Crafts Furniture: From Classic to Contemporary
Kevin P. Rodel,Jonathan Binzen
This book examines the influences that gave rise to the Arts & Crafts movement in furniture design. An Arts & Crafts home was not truly complete unless it was furnished in the same style. Here's a thoughtful look at the movement from William Morris and its early conception, through Gustav Stickley and the Prairie School, that moves on to showcase contemporary pieces. Valuable for restoration and design inspiration for woodworkers. TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1.
