Early L. & J. G. Stickley Furniture From Onondaga Shops to Handcraft

A reprint of two rare catalogs (circa 1908-1910) delineating the early achievement of furniture makers (brothers of Gustav Stickley) who played a key role in the Arts & Crafts movement in America, with captioned illustrations of over 200 of their furniture designs-many rarely seen in recent years. A preface by Robert L. Arrow and an historical introduction by Donald A. Davidoff shed light on neglected aspects of the work of this important and still thriving firm.

Furniture maker and architect Gustav Stickley (1858-1942) was a leading spokesman for the American Craftsman movement, a design trend descended directly from the British Arts and Crafts movement.
