Antique Arts And Crafts Style Buffet Sl
This unique piece 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 beautiful stained glass on the display doors; much time and effort went into the creation of this piece. Notice the wonderful figured wood grain on the lower cabinet doors—stunning. This piece would be perfect in your home.
