Synopsis

"In the Arts and Crafts Style" describes the history and hallmarks of this timeless home decor motif. Tracing the history of the movement from its European origins through to its American variations, including California's Mission style, it highlights the work of influential masters such as William Morris, Gustav Stickley, Charles Voysey, Greene and Greene, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Furniture, fabrics, and accent pieces are described in detail, as well as classic pieces such as the Morris chair, the Stickley settle, and the Tiffany lamp. A series of case studies shows how these historic styles can be incorporated into contemporary interiors. Over 150 color photos, a resource guide, and bibliography make "In the Arts and Crafts Style" a fantastic starting point for decorators and students.
