Mission Furniture is a form of Amish furniture has a long history finding its origins during the 1850’s, part of the Arts and Crafts Movement era of furniture design.

The idea behind the Arts and Crafts Movement lies in hand-crafted products being made with integrity to combine both utility and a simplistic style, all concepts which encompass the theories behind the Amish way of life, being easily adopted by the skilled Amish wood craftsman at the time.

Each piece of Mission Furniture is 100% handcrafted from the highest quality and durable hardwoods like cherry, maple and oak. Every slat of wood is chosen carefully to ensure the most even coloring and texture, then hand sanded until smooth and ready to take any of the multiple stain colors you will have to choose from.

It is said that the name “Mission” furniture lies in the idea that each piece of this uniquely handcrafted furniture has a mission to serve in your home. It has also been tied to the origins of Amish craftsmen being commissioned to build furniture for the Christian missions cropping up during the time period. Some of the types of Mission Furniture include:

• Arts and Crafts: Considered to be the original Mission Style furniture, the simplistic style of this furniture is stylized with a combination of straight edges and rounded edges at the bottom. Drawers and cabinets are straight in their angles with no real decoration other than their pewter handles, which is traditional for all Mission Furniture.


• Shaker:В  90 degree angles and straight lines best characterize Shaker furniture, but these simple lines are enhanced by carved wood dГ©cor within the headboard or drawers of each piece.


• Royal Mission: One of the most decorative styles within the set, beveling is used to create beautiful but durable pieces for your home.
