This unique buffet is an exquisite example of the arts and crafts movement of the late 19th century. This movement was in response to the industrial revolution, several freethinking craftsmen held a vision of a society in which the worker was not brutalized by the working conditions found in factories, but rather could take pride in his craftsmanship and skill. The rise of a consumer class coincided with the rise of manufactured consumer goods. In this period, manufactured goods were often poor in design and quality. These craftsmen proposed that it would be better for all if individual craftsmanship could be revived-- the worker could then produce beautiful objects that exhibited the result of fine craftsmanship, as opposed to the shoddy products of mass production. The straight lines and rectangular shape of these pieces typify this style. Look at the lovely cut glass display area; true to the creed of this movement, the craftsman who made this piece took the utmost care and pride in his work. Look at the floral accents that frame the upper display—awesome! The carvings on the doors are subtle and deep while the cupboard doors open to provide plenty of storage space for anything you can imagine. This piece would look wonderful as an addition to your dining room. The beauty of its craftsmanship will impress everyone who looks on this piece. M11oc507
