The Arts and Crafts movement

flowered in the 1870s and 80s as a

reaction to the decorative excesses of

the mid-nineteenth century. At its

heart was a search for a return to

simplicity, quiet beauty and honesty

of construction. There is no single

recognisable style that represents

Arts and Crafts; an interior could be

exotic and precious, with rich

colours and patterns, or homely and

plain, as long as it adhered to the

Arts and Crafts ideal of hand

craftsmanship. The craft workshops

and guilds, created in idealized

imitation of their medieval

counterparts, produced furniture and

textiles, metalwork and ceramics

which raised the status of such

objects from minor household

articles to the decorative arts.

Arts & Crafts Style is a richly

illustrated survey of this middle-class

revolution in aesthetic taste, which

draws together its many different

strands and looks in particular at

how the style was interpreted

internationally, throughout Europe

and America.
