By Western Hands

By Western Hands: Functional Art from the Heart of the West celebrates the history of rustic design - from the Adirondacks and National Park "parkitecture" style to the work of legendary western furnituremaker Thomas Molesworth - and describes its evolution to the art form it is today, one that is born of an individual artisan's creative process and uniquely inspired by place.The book includes leading voices in the movement, features original examples of bespoke mountain and rustic interiors, and showcases one-of-a-kind artworks from fifty of the best rustic and western decorative artisans working today.By Western Hands: Functional Art from the Heart of the West is at once a history, a compendium and a curated showcase full of design inspiration, whether one owns a rustic, western or country home, or simply dreams of one.
