Join Aimee from EuroLuxHome.com as she explores the rich history and enduring appeal of the Arts and Crafts furniture style, also known as the Eastlake style, in this informative and engaging video.
Originating in mid-to-late 19th-century England, the Arts and Crafts movement was a reaction to the opulence of the Victorian era and the impact of the Industrial Revolution on craftsmanship. As society became more mechanized and mass production took hold, the Arts and Crafts style harked back to the joy of crafting by hand, showcasing quality over quantity.
William Morris, a renowned interior designer who believed in traditional production methods and high-quality materials, was at the heart of this movement. He is best known for repeating nature patterns in textiles and wallpaper, paired with simpler furniture designs to balance the aesthetic. Charles Locke Eastlake, another key figure, further emphasized simplicity and utility with straight lines and shallow carvings, becoming a highly influential name in furniture design.
The Arts and Crafts movement made its way to the U.S., known as the Mission or Craftsman style, influenced by Spanish mission architecture and fueled by Eastlake's ideas. Gustav Stickley, an American furniture designer, established his Craftsman workshops in New York, producing robust, unadorned oak pieces that stood the test of time.
Today, the Arts and Crafts style resonates with those seeking simplicity, durability, and the charm of handcrafted furniture in an era of mass production and disposable culture. If you're interested in recognizing the hallmarks of this unique style while antiquing or want to understand its impact on European antiques, this is the video for you.
