Label TextThe Roycroft community of artisans, founded by Elbert Hubbard, operated a printing press and built handmade furniture between 1895 and 1938 in East Aurora, N.Y. Most Roycroft pieces are easily identified by either the orb and cross insignia or the incised "Roycroft" name. The construction style of Roycroft furniture uses high-quality wood joined by pegs, pins and mortise-and-tenon joints. A 1904 Roycroft furniture catalog states that the workers' aim in making furniture was to embody three elements in each piece: simplicity of design, the highest quality of workmanship and durability.
MarkingsRoycroft mark on front leg.
