The proliferation of historical styles in furniture design was in part due to the fact that the underlying intellectual currents of romanticism and historicism dominated the literature, influenced the aesthetics, and forged the ideals of the period.
EASTLAKE, 1870-1880 Charles Locke Eastlake was an English architect and aesthetic reformer whose famous volume, HINTS ON HOUSEHOLD TASTE IN FURNITURE, UPHOLSTERY AND OTHER DETAILS caused his name to become associated with a reduced aesthetic of rectangular outlines and shallow, incised carving.
The ideals of the Aesthetic Movement were expressed by applying a high degree of craftsmanship with an imaginative and eclectic vocabulary of decoration drawn from disparate sources, such as Japan and medieval England.

 The Irony of Arts and Crafts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Charles Eastlake (1836 — 1906), another English designer, was an early proponent of the "return to simplicity" movement and touted both it and William Morris in his hugely successful book "Hints on Household Taste", first published in England in 1868 and in America in 1872.
By the end of the 1870’s, influenced by Eastlake and the English movement, small colonies of "Arts and Crafts" artisans had established themselves in America, primarily around Boston and Cincinnati, producing small amounts of furniture and artifacts that reflected the simpler tastes and high ideals of the founders.
But the movement in America didn’t really catch on until it was espoused by Elbert Hubbard, brother-in-law of John D. Larkin, of soap fame.

Although today considered quaintly ornate, the popular "Eastlake style" was a rejection of overwrought design, especially "unhealthy," lumbering, and heavily carved and machine-made furniture.
Eastlake's design found much favor with the rising middle classes in the United States.
This so-called Aesthetic movement also incorporated Oriental motifs brought to Western attention through wars in the Middle East and Far East, and through the world's fairs of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

A suite of ebonized cherry was described as “upholstered in maroon satin with gold cord and fringe,” a look similar to that of the Cincinnati Art Museum's Mitchell and Rammelsberg suite (Hanks 1982, 64).
Learning quickly from Eastlake, Talbert, and Kimbel and Cabus, around 1879 Mitchell and Rammelsberg “brought over from England an [unidentified] artist in household decoration” who designed three rooms in the store in the fashionable “aesthetic” taste (quoted in Peirce 1978, 229).
The upholstery fabrics—an elaborate aesthetic movement jacquard pattern and a solid plush, as well as gimp and fringe—were worn and faded but intact as important documents of the suite's original appearance.

Tied to the European Aesthetic movement, the Arts and Crafts movement began soon after the American Civil War, and encompassed much more than just one style of furniture or architecture.
The increased technological capabilities of the Industrial Age, as well as a philosophic disdain for this new manufacturing age oddly coalesced, along with critics' challenges to classism and the European art establishment.
Morris and Eastlake, for example, advocated use of one cohesive decorating style, and emphasized functional detail rather than excessive decoration of furniture.

From the more fanciful, overwrought children of Pugin to the reforms of Eastlake, Ashbee and Gimson, and through the Gothic, Japanese and Orientalist revivals, there was always something interesting afoot.

 Craftsman Perspective: History of the Arts and Crafts Movement -- 1860-1910
In 1861 the Arts and Crafts Movement got its biggest boost when Morris founded Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Co., a furniture, design and decorative accessories company that stressed time-honored craftsmanship and natural materials.
Craftsman guilds sprung up, most notably the Century Guild in 1882, followed in 1888 by the Guild of Handicraft and Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, which was formed by members of the Royal Academy who were frustrated by the institution's definition of art in terms of fine art, relegating decorative arts to second-class citizenship.
The guilds did much to advance the themes of clean design and clean living, but the 1896 death of William Morris foreshadowed the decline of the Movement in England.

In the introduction to their text, Invisible Gardens: The Search for Modernism in the Landscape, Peter Walker and Melanie Simo state that the definitions for modern and modernism have yet to be clearly understood in the field of landscape architecture.
The seeds of the Modern Movement, after having taken form in Europe at the turn-of-the century, were planted in the United States just prior to World War II.
