craftsman style

Craftsman stygustav stickley (1858?-1942) was an American furniture maker, architect and publisher. Through his designs and articles, he became a leading advocate of the Arts and Crafts movement, which flourished in the United States around the turn of the 20th century.Based in a suburb of Syracuse, New York, Stickley's company manufactured furniture, metalwork and textiles from 1900 to 1916. Although Stickley called his style Craftsman, it's also often referred to as Mission or Mission Oak. The word "mission" refers to the California Spanish missions - one of Stickley's design influences - but it also reflects one of Stickley's core values: that all furniture fulfill a purpose, or mission.le
