mission furniture
mission furnitureAn American style arising from the British Arts and Crafts movement, which inspired Gustav Stickley (1854–1942) to found his own The New York Firm (1898–1915). It made simple, massive oak pieces with cloth, canvas, or leather upholstery, as did the Royston Community (1895–1938). Stickley’s magazine The Craftsmen (1901–15) spread the gospel of utility of design to the west coast. |
