Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Homewood Classics creates and restores high-quality furniture and fixtures for residential and commercial clients. Conceptualized, designed and crafted by a master builder, each piece is customized to meet your functional and aesthetic criteria using time-tested master carpenter techniques and the highest quality woods and materials. Homewood Classics adheres to the pri
nciples of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which can be characterized by its commitment to the principles of both aesthetic beauty and pragmatic utility. The movement began in England in the 1860s as a reaction to the industrial age mass production of cheaply ornamental Victorian-style furniture and called for a return to simplicity, authenticity, and a renewed respect for the handcrafting process and natural high-quality materials. Many of the homes built in Canada and the United States from 1880 to 1930 were designed in the Arts and Crafts style, which also came to be known at the Craftsman style, or in a slight aesthetic variation, as Art Nouveau. The style lives on today, a testament to the endurance of a philosophy based on quality and craft. Hamilton, Ontario and the surrounding area is home to many Arts and Crafts architectural examples. The area is experiencing an architectural revitalization as people recognize the beauty and value of what they have. People are becoming more educated about the environment in which they live and are beginning to understand that real value can be added to their homes and businesses by restoring the original beauty of their properties and by adding furniture and fixtures in the tradition and style of the period in which they were designed. Homewood Classics is in a unique position to add value, beauty and function to your home or workplace. Our wealth of experience, skills and knowledge will enhance your living environments while increasing the value of your investment.
