Honest joinery against the machine
The English answer to industrial manufacture: honest materials, hand tools, and a refusal to hide how a thing is made. Oak, copper and visible joinery, often by workshops small enough to sign their work.
What to look for
Exposed joinery and pegs, adzed or planed surfaces, and a maker's stamp or paper label underneath.
