The term Prairie School is specific to a time period (the late 19th century and early 20th century) and falls in line with the Arts & Crafts movement. With inspiration from mid 19th century England, the Arts & Crafts movement eventually spread throughout Europe and then to North America, including Canada, where it became known as the American Arts & Crafts movement. Peterson Art Furniture was founded in 1905 in Faribault, Minn. By John Peterson, who was born in Denmark in 1871 and emigrated to the United States when he was 13 years old. He was employed as a wood carver and cabinet maker in Massachusetts before coming west to work in a furniture store in Minneapolis. In 1895, he joined his brother Andrew in Faribault and worked as a carver and designer with the Hutchinson-Stockton Furniture Company until 1901, when he started a furniture company of his own in Waterville, Minn. The company acquired other furniture factories, including Daisy Woodcraft, North Star Furniture Co. And the Faribault Furniture Co. And at one time manufacturing took place at six locations, four in Faribault and two in Waterville. We encourage any and all questions concerning this beautiful lamp.
