"Dedicated to the integrated beauty of the whole house, the Arts and Crafts movement produced practical art of all kinds, but this book focuses on its most enduring legacy: the furniture. In the superb examples shown here, some of them in private collections and never before photographed, the true beauty and diversity of this unique furniture sings. The movement had outposts in many parts of the Western hemisphere, but it can be grouped into schools sharing a philosophy or aesthetic. This book looks at each school to help the reader both perceive the common themes and to identify the furniture by its hallmarks." (dj) A terrific resource to have at hand.
