"Charles P. Limbert [1854-1923] -- furniture salesman and furniture maker -- saw in the Arts and Crafts Movement a popular idea in furniture that he could produce and sell profitably. He also recognized the aesthetic and feel of the Movement, and hence his furniture articulates the many varied aspects of furniture that is simple, well-designed, proportionate, sturdy, useful and beautiful. Charles Limbert was a man who not only could follow the Arts and Crafts ideals in his production, he could also do what many other makers of Arts and Crafts furniture could not do: he made a profit."
