This book is the essential companion to the Life-Time
Furniture reprint of the 1911 catalog. Lifetime Furniture,
Puritan Motif, 1918 Catalog features Lifetime Furniture
exclusively in the Puritan motif, or refined mission style,
in the words of the company's ad copy writers. This light,
elegant Arts and Crafts furniture, characterized
by long graceful corbels and arched stretchers, was introduced
in April 1917 and was popular with the public for years
after Gustav Stickley and most other leading Arts and
Crafts furniture manufacturers went out of business or
moved on to historical period motifs.
This book reprints the complete contents of the 1918 catalog
together with the original November 1918 price list. The
catalog features 75 different forms of Puritan-style mission
furniture. The book includes a scholarly Introduction
illustrated with period photographs.
