American Arts and Crafts Textiles
No Customer Reviews
American Arts and Crafts Textiles explores an important but often overlooked component of the American Arts and Crafts style (1900-1925), exemplified by designers such as Gustav Stickley, Greene & Greene, Harvey Ellis, and Arthur Wesley Dow. The bold and colorful table linens, curtains, pillow shams, clothing, and other textiles typical of the period were often stenciled or embroidered with the same stylized motifs inspired by nature - such as flowers and insects - that appear in Arts and Crafts pottery, metalwork, and other decorative arts. This lavishly illustrated book provides historical information as well as decorating inspiration. More than 25 photos show the textiles in period room settings located in notable Craftsman style homes around America, while other illustrations include vintage advertisements and detailed photographs of individual works. Chapters outlining the needlework techniques and how to care for antique textiles round out the book.
