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.

Gorgeous Large & Pure White Alabaster Pendant Chandelier W. Mint Rope & Canopy
Located in Lisse, NL
Exceptional alabaster pendant with the perfect shade, rope and canopy. Over the years we have sold a number of alabaster pendants that were even better than the top quality ones that we sell regularly. This superb quality specimen really ticks all the boxes. First of all, it has the best design and size alabaster shade. A shade of this timeless design and size can be used virtually eveywhere. It would look amazing in your kitchen, above your dining table, in your large entrance or on your master bedroom's ceiling. Secondly, you will hardly ever find an alabaster pendant light with such a perfect rope and tassel. Thirdly, on top the large and mint brass canopy is like the icing on the cake of this one of a kind antique. With a timeless design pendant of this size, beauty and mint condition, you simply cannot go wrong. Created in the earliest years of the 1900s with just a hint of classicism by ways of the, equally perfect, gilt bronze lion mask sculptures this antique chandelier is bound to light up both your days AND evenings. The large and deep alabaster bowl shade has the most amazing, polished surface and it is so structurally sound, it actually rings like a gong when you strike it. Both on and off this pendant is an absolute joy to look at and although we have said it many times before, we will say it again here, but in real life this special antique pendant too is even better looking than in our photos. When the light shines through it, the stunning black and the more translucent white veins and patches reveil a palette of patterns that only Mother Nature herself is capable of creating. This finest of alabaster fixtures is professionally rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and you can use your regular American bulbs of up to 100 watts each. So with a dimmer switch attached you can always create the perfect atmosphere for every ocassion. If you like this perfect and unique alabaster pendant...
