Build Our Arts & Crafts Dresser
The Arts & Crafts movement in America is best known for the rectangular, somewhat understated style of furniture produced around the turn of the last century. These pieces were typically built of quartersawn white oak–a wood that displays a dramatic grain pattern, or fleck–and stained a deep brown. Design detailing includes mortise-and-tenon joinery, handmade hardware and simple curved arches that soften the severely straight, parallel-sided appearance.
