Making Authentic Craftsman Furniture

Rejecting the "badly constructed, over-ornate, meaningless" furniture of the late Victorian period, architect, furniture designer and manufacturer Gustav Stickley developed a radical new design concept that stressed careful workmanship, simplicity and utility. His important monthly magazine The Craftsman (1901-1916) published construction plans for his distinctly American furniture. The 62 simple, straightforward projects reprinted here-exquisite examples of Stickley's classic designs-first appeared in The Craftsman between 1903 and 1907. Included are projects large and small enough to satisfy the household needs and creative urges of any woodworker. Make authentic reproductions of handsome, functional, sturdy Craftsman home furnishings from bookcases to bedsteads, dressers to dining tables, a hall tree, a foot rest, a wood-box and more-future family heirlooms that will stand the test of time both in durability and in clean, elegant purity of line.

Furniture maker and architect Gustav Stickley (1858-1942) was a leading spokesman for the American Craftsman movement, a design trend descended directly from the British Arts and Crafts movement.
