About Us

Home   As you may have guessed from the images and quote on these pages, we are Arts & Crafts movement enthusiasts.

The quotation on our homepage is from Gustav Stickley (1858-1942), a leader in the American Arts & Crafts movement. The American A&C movement could be seen as a rejection of Victorian & Edwardian excess; a return to a simpler past. 

Designers emphasized purity & simplicity in their handcrafted works.  The movement touched all areas of design, from architecture & art to furnishings & textiles.  For more information, please visit one of the links below.
