CLEARANCE – LIKE NEW – ONE AVAILABLE

A comprehensive survey of one of America’s most enduring and popular interior design styles, reflecting both traditional and contemporary interpretations, this lavishly illustrated and informative volume begins with a discussion of the origins of the Arts and Crafts movement at the turn of the 20th century and traces its evolution to the present day. Over 140 glorious, full-color photographs showcase the special beauty of this simple, graceful style and depict the hallmarks of its design:  impeccable construction and proportions, the use of enduring woods, exquisite finishes, handwrought hardware, and other unique touches in every object pictured, all in the context of contemporary homes. From a New York estate filled with rare Roycroft pieces to a Beverly Hills mansion furnished in early Gustav Stickley furniture, the book not only provides a rare glimpse into the collector’s world but offers a visual blueprint for incorporating this engaging style into any household.
