Story Behind the Art: The Arts and Crafts Movement emerged in the 19th century as a response to the mass production of poor-quality factory-made products. At the forefront of this movement was William Morris, who championed the return to handmade crafts, believing that the artistry and originality of handcrafted items should be celebrated over the use of machinery. Morris’s new design approach embraced nature, and his influence is seen in everything from furniture to upholstery and wallpaper, as well as in intricate rugs with floral, fruit, and foliage patterns. The Arts and Crafts rugs are characterized by their simple, bold, and informal design, rooted in nature’s beauty. These rugs embrace various styles, such as Art Nouveau with flowing, curvilinear lines, as well as geometric and Native American-inspired patterns. Today, the Arts and Crafts rugs continue to be loved for their natural motifs and versatile color palettes, which make them an enduring choice for modern homes.
