Summary:

Directly influenced by William Morris' Arts and Crafts Movement in England, the Stickley family created what is now known and prized as Craftsman-style furniture. Termed by its creators "the first original expression of American thought in furniture", Craftsman furniture is very much in demand today, with prices skyrocketing.

Collectors, antique hunters, restorers, and catalog buffs can now see hundreds of pieces of Craftsman furniture as they were actually offered for sale in two Stickley turn-of-the-century catalogs. The 594 illustrations in this volume depict numerous settles, rockers, armchairs, reclining chairs, bookcases, desks, and tables. Captions describe exact measurements and often include original prices. New introduction.
