Mission Style Decor and Roycroft Craft Revival in Early 1900s
The Arts and Crafts movement, centered on Gustav Stickley’s dark oak Mission furniture, spread in the early 1900s with somber colors and copper accents. Roycroft in East Aurora produced books, copper work, leather, and furniture, marking stylistic trends. A copper coated Bakelite phone, enhanced by Roycroft, sold for $10,625. A Shawnee Pottery Puss n Boots cookie jar set from 1945 is noted with a 2011 auction price of $115.
