A Bit of Mission Furniture History

Mission Furniture (aka “Arts & Crafts” "Craftsman" & “American Mission”) is a product of a revolutionary furniture & design movement that was created as a response to the industrial revolution and the way it devalued the American craftsperson and furniture maker. This style of furniture, architecture, interior design, and decorative arts became affordable to middle class families for homes built in the USA during the Arts and Crafts period between 1900 and 1930.”

Many of the major players of the Mission Style movement (William Morris, John Ruskin, Gustav Stickley, Frank Lloyd Wright et al) believed that the Craftsman was being lost to mass produced, “soulless” furniture from the Victorian Era. Mission furniture was a complete departure from the over embellished and “glamorous” furniture that the Victorian Period was known for. The Mission Furniture Movement rebelled against the highly “glamorous” ideals of the Victorian Era that weren’t inclusive of the real middle class. Mission furniture aimed to represent the true American worker. It represented an entire shift in cultural attitudes and values.

About Lyndon Furniture

The story of Lyndon Furniture is as good a reflection of the history and values of Vermont as youll find anywhere. After Dave Allard graduated high school in 1976, he began working on his family farm. He built his first few pieces of furniture in a house that he built himself for his parents to move into. Lyndon now employs over 100 craftsmen in Vermonts Northeast Kingdom. Their furniture is made with real solid wood and built to last a lifetime and then some.
