Thirteen exemplary examples of side chairs representing the early-20th-century aesthetic of the American Arts and Crafts movement are featured in this exhibition of handicraft-oriented furniture manufacturers and smaller, craft-oriented workshops that were contemporaries of Gustav Stickley. The exhibition explores the usefulness and appealing designs of these vital products of the American Arts and Crafts movement and shows how these chairs brought a message of honesty and joy to their makers and their possessors.
