So much of salvaged charm comes down to the details, and there’s no style richer in detail than Eastlake. The Eastlake style came out of the Aesthetic Movement in the late 1800s, which set forth the idea that one should live life surrounded by beauty down to smallest design element. British Architect Charles Eastlake popularized the ideals of the Aesthetic Movement when he published his book Hints on Household Tastes in Furniture, Upholstery and Other Details in 1872. Much of the movement was influenced by Japanese visual culture, as Japan had recently opened up trade with the West. Common motifs include leaves, urns, flowers, birds, and geometric details, and the pieces are incredibly ornate. Check out a couple Eastlake pieces we have in stock right now!
