The definitive guide to recreating the special look of Greene & Greene
furniture.
Considered among the highest achievements of the American arts and
crafts movement, Greene & Greene furniture is famous for its refined
details and striking design. The special beauty of Greene & Greene
design has been impossible to reproduce because of the rarity of the
original pieces. But now, in Greene & Greene: Design Elements for the
Workshop, modern craftsmen can recreate the authentic Greene & Greene
look in their own projects.
Nationally recognized furniture maker Darrell Peart provides
intermediate and advanced woodworkers with step-by-step instructions for
classic Greene & Greene details, including ebony plugs, cloud lifts, leg
indents, brackets, and pulls. Over 200 photographs and drawings show
readers the fine details of Greene & Greene design, while photos of
contemporary designs inspired by Greene & Greene provide design ideas
and inspiration. Biographical sketches are included for Charles and
Henry Greene, Peter and John Hall (who built most of the furniture), and
competing furniture maker Gustav Stickley.
Unique and comprehensive, Greene & Greene: Design Elements for the
Workshop is a must-have for every fan of the Greene & Greene style.
