This handcrafted chair featured a simple, straight-line construction, and was well-proportioned. It was also comfortable and durable. Forbes\u2019 design was inspired by not only the Spanish Missions in California, but also the Arts and Crafts movement that sought to leave behind the overly ornate and artificial style of the Victorian era.<\/p>\n<p>Then Joseph McHugh copied it.<\/p>\n<p>McHugh was a New York furniture maker and retailer who copied Forbes\u2019 design. By 1901 McHugh had a complete line of Mission furniture he called &#8220;McHugh Mission.&#8221; The line of simplistic furniture helped the style gain popularity.<\/p>\n<p>As McHugh was busy commercializing his line of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/style\/mission-furniture\">Mission style furniture<\/a>, Gustav Stickley, who would pioneer the Arts and Crafts movement in America, was hard at work developing his own design.<\/p>\n<p>Before we look at the work of Stickley, let\u2019s examine what gave momentum to the development and wide spread love for Mission style furniture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Vintage-Mission-Dining-Dining-Chair\/p\/12339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5111\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pid_12339-Amish-Vintage-Mission-Dining-Chair-110.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Mission Dining Chair\" width=\"242\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pid_12339-Amish-Vintage-Mission-Dining-Chair-110.jpg 515w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pid_12339-Amish-Vintage-Mission-Dining-Chair-110-182x300.jpg 182w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Vintage-Mission-Dining-Dining-Chair\/p\/12339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amish Vintage Mission Dining Chair<\/a> displays classic Mission style.<\/h6>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Arts &amp; Crafts Movement<\/h3>\n<p>The Arts and Crafts movement originated in Britain in the late 19<sup>th<\/sup> century and flourished in North America between 1880 and 1910. William Morris led the cause in Britain, where people were looking to move away from the excess design and mass production of Victorian Era furniture. The Arts and Crafts movement emphasized craftsmanship and the quality of the materials used. The focus became useful, finely crafted furniture with simple forms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Kenosha-Arts-and-Crafts-Mission-Dining-Chair\/p\/46474\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pid_46474-Amish-Arts-and-Crafts-Dining-Room-Chair-50.jpg\" alt=\"Mission Arts and Crafts Dining Chair\" width=\"241\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pid_46474-Amish-Arts-and-Crafts-Dining-Room-Chair-50.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pid_46474-Amish-Arts-and-Crafts-Dining-Room-Chair-50-181x300.jpg 181w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Kenosha-Arts-and-Crafts-Mission-Dining-Chair\/p\/46474\">Kenosha Mission Dining Chair<\/a> embodies the simple form and quality craftsmanship<br \/>of the Arts &amp; Crafts Movement.<\/h6>\n<p>It was Gustav Stickley, a German American furniture manufacturer and design leader who led the Arts and Crafts movement in America. After meeting notable Arts and Crafts designers in Europe in 1896, Stickley returned to New York promoting the philosophy of the movement within his designs. He became a leading voice, advocating simplicity and practicality within both furniture and home design.<\/p>\n<p>The solid wood furniture Stickley built was most often made from oak and featured a plain and rectilinear form that was enriched by structural features.<\/p>\n<p>In 1901, Stickley founded the publication <em>The Craftsman <\/em>which featured his work and further contributed to making Mission style furniture popular. Mission furniture really caught on during the turn of the century and was considered the best in terms of design and quality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Bellingham-Mission-Trestle-Table\/p\/44087\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18296 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Amish-Bellingham-Mission-Trestle-Dining-Table-300x161.jpg\" alt=\"Amish Bellingham Mission Trestle Dining Table\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Amish-Bellingham-Mission-Trestle-Dining-Table-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Amish-Bellingham-Mission-Trestle-Dining-Table.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Bellingham-Mission-Trestle-Table\/p\/44087\">Bellingham Mission Trestle Dining Table<\/a> brings out the warmth and beauty of solid wood.<\/h6>\n<div class=\"youtube-player\" data-video-id=\"chkEHEEF0V0\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Olde-Century-Mission-Dining-Chair\/p\/46504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olde Century Mission Dining Chair<\/a>, a true representation of classic Mission is highlighted in the video above.<\/h6>\n<h3>Characteristics of Mission Style Furniture<\/h3>\n<p>Mission style furniture and Amish furniture share many of the same principles.
