Tod M. Volpe and Beth Cathers have been collectors, dealers and scholars in the field of Arts and Crafts for many years, and Alastair Duncan is well known for his various books on aspects of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
From Library Journal
Rejecting cheap, mass-produced items as aesthetically unappealing, the Arts and Crafts Movement integrated beauty and practicality by using quality materials and construction to create household objects with simple, straightforward designs. This book showcases these skillfully crafted objects, featuring furniture, ceramics, metal and silver, lighting and windows, and miscellaneous items in numerous beautiful illustrations. Separate chapters examine the designers, architects, and firms that offered various interpretations of the movement's philosophy. Libraries will want to consider, given the renewed interest in the craft-as-art debate. Judith Yankielun Lind, Free P.L., Berkeley Heights, N.J.
