The Arts and Crafts movement was started in Britain in the mid-1800’s, in response to the Industrial Revolution. As more and more of Great Britain became industrialized, a group of people started a movement that was the antithesis of it. A social and political movement, it also influenced the arts. The Arts and Crafts movement emphasized design and hand craftsmanship as well as the utility of an item.
The American Craftsman style was started at the end of the 1800’s. It was an outgrowth of the British movement. Many of the rug fabrics have the look of an Arts and Craft pattern.
