Mission Furniture - Craftsman Furniture

McHugh chair - mission furniture craftsman furnitureThe descriptive name "mission furniture" was first coined by Joseph McHugh, a New York furniture manufacturer and retailer, to describe his line of straight line rustic style missionfurniture that he began producing about 1895. The mission style furniture design was based on a chair that had been designed for the Swedenborgian Church of the New Jerusalem in San Francisco, circa 1894-1985. The mission chair was a simple rush-seated chair. The design of the church and the chairs were influenced by the Spanish missions of the area, thus the term "mission furniture". The architectural office of A. Page Brown had architects Bernard Maybeck and A.C. Schweinfurth design the church and they chose this mission style.

Mission (Misson(sp)) furniture caught on as a generic term for the style of furniture and also the European term "arts & crafts" was used and craftsman furniture. At about the same time that McHugh was commercializing his line of mission style furniture, Elbert Hubbard and Gustav Stickley (Stickly) were developing their own missionfurniture designs. Many of the pieces had transitional designs that combined both Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau styles, but by 1900 the mission designs of Stickley and Roycroft became more straight lined and developed into the familiar mission style, as we know it. Interestingly, both McHugh and Stickley exhibited at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York with McHugh winning a silver medal. More on Mission Furniture
