Two mentions struck me:

1. that the pastoral/bucolic community format failed in both the US and UK. The Ashbee guy who’s piece you show, had his “Guild of Handicraft “attempt end in disaster after 5 years and

2. how the revival has lasted longer that the period. This is a cool and interesting point you bring up. I’m not sure where the revival is though, is it Striesand buying Southerbey’s auctioned pieces as defining the revival or is it that the home shop doesn’t have to worry about commercial viablity and can build in an invisioned wide-eyed idealistic style outside of reality.

That “Cotswolds style” needs some further investigation……..in the US we say Wharton Esherick is the father of studio furniture, but in the UK you’d be hard pressed to see Esherick mentioned ahead of Sidney Barnsley.

Brought back some past for me, very enjoyable Shannon THANKS!!!!……..Neil
