Eastlake Movement

The Eastlake Movement was an architectural and design style from the late 19th century, influenced by British designer Charles Eastlake. It emphasized handcrafted craftsmanship, intricate wooden details, and a focus on aesthetic quality in furniture and interiors. The style often features geometric patterns, decorative carvings, and a blend of Gothic and Victorian elements. It emerged as a reaction against mass-produced, heavily ornate Victorian designs, advocating for more honest, functional craftsmanship. Overall, the Eastlake Movement promoted well-crafted, refined interiors with a focus on detail and craftsmanship, contributing to the broader Arts and Crafts movement.
