Amish/Stickley furniture and the Arts and Crafts
Movement: The Arts and Crafts movement was growing in popularity in England
as Mission furniture was becoming fashionable in the western part of
the United States. Both Amish
and Stickley furniture were helped along in popularity
by the Arts and Crafts movement. Simple, unadorned beauty was cherished
during this movement as was the focus on social reform wherein aesthetics
was coupled with society so individual craftsmanship was prized. Thus,
some believe that this movement created an impetus for the purchase of
Amish and Stickley furniture. Both were free from ornamentation and allowed
the craftsmanship to shine in the structural elements like the tongue
and groove joints, which were stylistic choices that exemplified the
ideals of this movement.
 Today,
the Amish still create the Mission style furnishings that were highly
valued during the Arts and Crafts movement. Many people still love the
look and the craftsmanship of this style. If you are one of them, our
online store can help you find the quality pieces you want. We even sell
individual pieces so you can create the complete bedroom suite that will
