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.
