Greene & Greene — Design Elements for the Workshop

by Darrell Peart

In the early 20th century, the Greene brothers added a unique touch to the Arts & Crafts furniture genre, both on their own and in collaboration with others. Their major characteristic styles can be reproduced using the 10 projects in this book.

Included are leg-indent details, ebony plugs, wooden hardware, cloud lifts, Blacker brackets, finger-proud joinery in drawers and more. A separate section details the actual finish the brothers used, and a modern method of achieving their results. Dozens of photographs accompany the projects, with diagrams for clarity. Several original pieces of Greene & Greene furniture are shown throughout.
