Arts and Crafts Furniture
ARTS AND CRAFTS STYLE
Emerging in reaction to industrialization and mass production, the Arts and Crafts movement celebrated handcrafted design as a part of daily life. The history of Arts and Crafts furniture has roots in 1860s England with an emphasis on natural motifs and simple flourishes like mosaics and carvings. This work is characterized by plain construction that showcases the hand of the artisan.
The earliest American Arts and Crafts furniture dates back to the start of the 20th century. Designers working in this style in the United States initially looked to ideas put forth by The Craftsman, a magazine published by Wisconsin native Gustav Stickley, a furniture maker and founder of the Craftsman style. Stickley’s furniture was practical and largely free of ornament. His Craftsman style drew on French Art Nouveau as well as the work he encountered on his travels in England. There, the leading designers of the Arts and Crafts movement included William Morris, who revived historical techniques such as embroidery and printed fabrics in his furnishings, and Charles Voysey, whose minimal approach was in contrast to the ornamentation favored in the Victorian era.
American Arts and Crafts work would come to involve a range of influences unified by an elevation of traditional craftsmanship. The furniture was often built from sturdy woods like oak and mahogany while featuring details such as inlaid metal, tooled leather and ceramic tiles. The style in the United States was led by Stickley, whose clean-lined chairs and benches showcased the grain of the wood, and furniture maker Charles Rohlfs, who was informed by international influences like East Asian and French Art Nouveau design.
Hubs in America included several utopian communities such as Rose Valley in Pennsylvania and the Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts Colony in New York, where craftspeople made furniture that prioritized function over any decoration. Their work would influence designers and architects including Frank Lloyd Wright, who built some of the most elegant and iconic structures in the United States and likewise embraced a thoughtful use of materials in his furniture.

Large Six-Light Bronze Chandelier with Folkore or Fable Hybrid Guard Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Amazing quality and excellent condition, heavy bronze chandelier.
This early 1900s and all handcrafted bronze chandelier is of amazing quality and highly decorative at the same time. We don't know the actual meaning of these templar or Robin Hood-like watchman who are holding up their lights for you, but they are a marvelous sight to see and the condition of this antique and sizable fixture is among the best we have ever seen. The handcrafted and hand-engraved glass shades are the perfect finish to this six light chandelier. Mind you, our photos were taken prior to our rewiring procedures, because we did not yet know which country this amazing fixture will go to. This is also the reason why in our images only one group of three lights is working. Finally, the patina of this fixture combined with the engraved transparent shades creates a sight and an atmosphere that will never fail to impress. They just don't make em like this anymore.
This rare and amazing bronze fixture is great value for money. Especially when taken into account that our sharp price includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
