Overview

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.

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.
