This is a reproduction of a vintage home catalog featuring items designed by the face of the Craftsman style in America, Gustav Stickley. It contains various items of home furnishings for every room.
Stickley is a name synonymous with style in America. The five Stickley brothers were fully engaged in the furniture industry around the turn of the century and had a huge impact on America's statement of style. Here, for the first time, the representative photos and ideas of all the brothers' work appear together in one volume, to compare and contrast, so that readers might make their own evaluations.
With over 200 detailed illustrations and descriptions, these two catalogs are essential reading and reference materials and identification guides for Stickley furniture. Captions cite materials, dimensions, and prices.
296 architectural drawings, floor plans, and photographs illustrate 40 different kinds of "Mission-style" homes from The Craftsman (1901-16), voice of American style of simplicity and organic harmony.
