Synopsis
During his first years as an Arts and Crafts furniture maker, from about mid-1900 to early 1904, Gustav Stickley and his designers created the most significant cabinetwork his firm would ever produce. For the most part made of quarter-sawn American oak, this furniture was substantial, subtly proportioned, essentially rectilinear, and built using traditional joinery-for instance, tenon and key, dovetail, pinned through tenons-and employing hand-wrought copper or iron hardware. These structural elements were both functional and symbolic, literally holding the furniture together while also expressing its moral aesthetic: though a factory product, every piece was solidly, honestly made.Stephen Gray is among those few who, early on, recognized both the inherent beauty of Arts and Crafts furniture and the value of the Craftsman Ideal. His collection includes many of the rarest forms and has few equals, but in two regards, it is almost singular: Stephen Gray lives with this major collection and has embraced the Craftsman Ideal in a beautiful, simple, personal, regionally sensitive manner. He lives in a nineteenth-century country house and has integrated an important collection with the ideas of decorating, lifestyle, and sensitivity to environment that were central to the Craftsman enterprise. Through Stephen Gray's collection, it is possible to explore the disparate values of the Arts and Crafts Movement, the Arts and Crafts interior, and the tensions inherent in the pursuit of an aesthetically simple Ideal life. This lavishly illustrated book features Stickley's furniture, including many photographs of Stickley designs in use, and it also includes some fine examples of art pottery, lighting fixtures, tiles, and color woodblock prints. The essays by David Cathers on Stickley's early work and Tommy McPherson, who compares Stephen Gray's living room to Stickley's own living room at Craftsman Farms, put Stickley's work into perspective. The introduction by Stephen Gray touches on collecting and living with Stickley., During his first years as an Arts and Crafts furniture maker, from about mid-1900 to early 1904, Gustav Stickley and his designers created the most significant cabinetwork his firm would ever produce.

- 1***a (24)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI apologize for my tardiness in posting feedback. The seller did a superb job! I received my book five days after ordering, and it arrived in better condition than "very good"; along with its cd as advertised. The seller took care with packaging, which I appreciate:) They also priced this out of print book about pionus parrots very fairly in my opinion, and I deeply appreciate the chance to finally read it!The Practical Pionus: Vol. 1 Pet Pionus Parrots by Russ Shade, Includes CD (N° 197299031130)
