The mission style of furniture

Dinning Room Furniture

In Victorian times, there was more emphasis on excessively ornate & elaborate furniture varieties. The mission style of furniture has developed as & by way of an answer to people who were looking for relief after the excesses of Victorian times. At the time there was also an influx of mass-produced furniture from the Industrial Revolution, & people were looking for something more individualistic & matchless. The furniture maker, Gustav Stickley was known to be the ancestor of the Arts & Crafts style furniture of the period. This kind of furniture was typified by plain & solid oak furniture that was handcrafted, with great attention to strength & sturdiness than any elaborate ornamentation & unnecessary frills.
