Arts and Crafts Antique furniture
As antique furniture began to be made in the late Victorian period using some machinery, this led to some furniture designers and furniture craftsmen toward using the more traditional methods of construction and only using quality timbers and construction. This was called the Arts and Crafts period or also known as the Aesthetic movement.
Driscolls antiques always stock quality arts and crafts furniture and this week we have for sale three very nice pieces. The first is an antique Arts & Crafts oak antique partners desk which is very large. This antique desk has a large solid top with twin pedestals each with working drawers at both sides, so it is a real partners desk and the desk has pull out writing slides above drawers with moulded edges. The desk still has the original brass handles and is in the manor of a Heals piece of antique furniture.
The second item of arts and crafts antique furniture is a set of six antique Arts & Crafts oak dining chairs. This set of chairs are unusual as they are high back dining chairs with arched backs and beautiful carved corners. They are very interesting Arts & Crafts design and it is very difficult to find good quality antique aesthetic movement dining chairs.
We also have a victorian Arts & Crafts antique bench with an upholstered back above beautifully shaped, carved upright supports. It has been upholstery in a very nice leaf design fabric.
Please always check our website for newly added antiques as we update it on a daily basis and always stock good quality aesthetic movement antique furniture.
