Book excerpt: The Arts and Crafts Movement is probably known for the furniture that came from it. Indeed, many claim that the furniture from this period was the only truly great product of the era. Now, enthusiasts of this popular furniture style can follow the rise of the design movement from its beginnings in mid-19th century England to the major American manufacturers of the 20th century. Warman's Arts & Crafts Furniture Price Guide covers the giants of the designers and manufacturers of the Arts and Crafts furniture: John Ruskin, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, William Morris, the Stickley Brothers, designer Harvey Ellis, Charles Limbert, Elbert Hubbard and the Roycrofters, Charles Rohlfs, and more. Over 1,500 listings include detailed descriptions and pricing for each piece, and more than 1,000 vibrant full-color photos convey the functional beauty of the era's furniture.
