Description

Gustav Stickley designed simple, well-made household furnishings and forward-looking interiors, which he promoted through "The Craftsman" magazine. The rugs he used are arguably the most under-studied of all the decorative arts of the Arts and Crafts movement. Among the rugs discussed here are works by British Arts and Crafts luminaries William Morris and Gavin Morton, druggets imported from India, Navajo blankets and rugs and rare Crex and Abnakee examples.

About the Author

Peter Hetherington, former regional affairs and northern editor of The Guardian, was a reporter at The Journal, Newcastle, covering local government – focussing on local politics and redevelopment – during the early 70s. Latterly he has written about planning, housing, regeneration and local government for The Guardian and other publications, and travelled extensively in Britain and overseas covering that field. He was a board member of the government's former Academy for Sustainable Communities, a member of its former urban sounding board, and is currently a vice president, trustee and policy council member of the Town and Country Planning Association.
