About Arts and Crafts Antiques

Arts and Crafts was an American and British movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (1880-1910), idealizing the craftsman and a return to simple, hand-made items and small studios or shops (a reaction to the mass production of the late Victorian Era).

There are many fine examples of Arts and Crafts pieces across a wide range of antiques and collectibles, including pottery, metalwork, furniture, sterling silver, and jewelry.

Some major collectible names from the Arts and Crafts movement include Roycroft metalwork, Rookwood pottery, the designs of William Morris and Gustav Stickley, and even Frank Lloyd Wright, whose homes and furniture designs embodied many aspects of Arts and Crafts. Mission Oak Style furniture is also strongly associated with the Arts and Crafts movement.
