Description
CLEARANCE – VERY GOOD+ – ONE AVAILABLE
The Arts and Crafts movement flourished in the 1870s and 80s as a reaction to the decorative excesses of the mid-nineteenth century. At its heart was a search for a return to simplicity, quiet beauty and honesty of construction – artists and craft workshops produced textiles, furniture, ceramics and metalwork that elevated everyday objects to the level of the decorative arts. Arts & Crafts Style is a richly illustrated survey that examines the movement in Europe and North America with erudition and enthusiasm.
This is the first paperback edition, published in 1996. The original was published in 1991. There is a stamp on the first page that says “PHAIDON Non-mint copy”. Otherwise there are no markings or writing.
