What Defines Arts & Crafts Furniture?

• Use of solid hardwoods like oak, walnut, ash and mahogany
• Visible joinery, such as pegged mortise-and-tenon joints
• Decorative techniques including chip carving, repoussé, and leadwork
• Minimal ornamentation — beauty through function

Born as a reaction to the excesses of Victorian mass production, Arts & Crafts furniture champions honesty in design, integrity in materials, and the enduring value of craftsmanship.
