The sturdy construction, tapered profile and clean lines that define this heirloom cabinet were inspired by the timeless designs of Elbert Hubard, Gustav Stickley, Charles Limbert and the Greene brothers—all renowned furniture makers responsible for the Arts and Crafts movement. Take time to admire the understated details of this classic design, and it’s easy to see why Arts and Crafts furniture has never gone out of style.
