New fvrnitvre from the work shop of Gvstave Stickley, cabinet maker, Syracvse, NY VSA
A 1901 furniture catalogue issued by Gustav Stickley, a cabinet maker in Syracuse, New York, presenting his own workshop pieces in the Arts and Crafts manner for buyers of furniture. The pictures are plain black-and-white photographs of single tables and stools shown against a pale background, with clean square joints, exposed stretchers and dark stained wood. A designer could take from them the sturdy geometry of Mission-style construction, with tapered legs, cross-braced stretchers and turned feet.
