We have
specialized
since 1980 in the furniture, lighting, metalware, ceramics, textiles and paintings of the
American and British Arts & Crafts Movements. In addition, we carry an extensive
selection of high-quality, beautiful reproductions in the Craftsman style that will fit well with an existing
collection of antiques or complement and augment your contemporary furnishings.
Use the links below to
browse our site, or use our site index to locate a specific item. Feel free to contact
us if you are unable to find what you are looking for. Chances
are good that we have it already, can easily get it for you, or would be
happy to custom-craft it for you. Scroll down for email, hours and address.

& Crafts Antiques

| Our focus
is on wonderful, interesting and important pieces in original finish and condition.

Lloyd Wright, Greene & Greene, William Morris, CFA Voysey, William Grueby,
Teco Pottery, Robert Jarvie and others, we also seek out lesser-known, unexplored,
or under-appreciated areas for collecting. Feel free to contact
us with questions, or if you would like us to help you find something specific. |

Reproductions
/ Contemporary Work
|
| There
has been tremendous growth in Arts & Crafts reproductions over the
last decade. We represent only those makers who produce the best, most sincere,
most authentic, and most lasting of the new work and hold it to the same
standard of quality, beauty and elegance of form that
we apply to the selection of antiques. Most
are small workshops, sometimes one or two craftspeople, in keeping with the
true spirit of the original Arts & Crafts movement.

Design
/ Restoration Services
|
| A core
belief of the Arts & Crafts philosophy
is the importance of integrating every element
of an interior. We bring over 25 years of specialization
and experience in the Arts & Crafts style to space
planning, renovation, restoration, detailing and new construction. We
can work directly
with you, recommending contractors, tradesmen, craftsmen and artisans, or as
consultants to your architect or designer. Please contact
us to discuss a project of any size. NEW: Ask us about our "Quick
Fix" and Home Staging
services! |
