Entrepreneur Elbert Green Hubbard (1856–1915), founded Roycroft in East Aurora near Buffalo, New York, in 1894. The Roycroft community produced some of the finest furniture, books, lamps, and metalwork of the Arts and Crafts movement. At its peak around 1915, nearly five hundred people worked at Roycroft. A number of talented artisans worked at Roycroft, particularly Dard Hunter (1883–1966), whose designs helped shape the distinctive look of Roycroft’s decorative arts. Metalworker and former banker Karl Kipp (1882–1954), head of the copper shop, also had a long-lasting influence on Roycroft’s metalwork. Bookends courtesy of Kris Steensma.

"What I am trying to do, and what four or five others in my field are trying to do, is to recreate an international image of English silver in modern terms...what we want to do is to bring the whole craft up-to-date with all the skill in the making that made the earlier silver famous."
