Scottish Arts and Crafts

Scottish Arts and Crafts was a movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that valued traditional craftsmanship and natural beauty. It sought to revive hand-made skills and promote high-quality materials in art, architecture, and design, emphasizing harmony with the environment. Rooted in a desire to counter industrialization’s mass production, Scottish Arts and Crafts reflected national pride and a connection to Scotland’s cultural heritage. It influenced furniture, textiles, and decorative arts, blending utility with aesthetic appeal, and played a significant role in shaping modern Scottish design sensibilities.
