No single piece of furniture exudes the sense of comfort the way the Morris chair does. Originally popularized by the English studio of William Morris in the mid-1860s, the Morris chair was quickly translated by American manufacturers, including Gustav Stickley.
The Mission Collection is a lasting symbol of the American Arts and Crafts Furniture movement. Clean lines and pureness of function make the Stickley Mission Collection truly timeless. The style became popular in the early 1900s and has been in continuous production ever since, becoming perhaps the most iconic and well known of American furniture styles. Arts & Crafts furniture signified sophisticated comfort and solid craftsmanship.
Honest and integrity of construction are essential tenets of the Arts and Crafts furniture. The tried and true traditional joinery that makes it strong and long-lasting is also a visible part of the intrinsic beauty of the furniture.
Als Ik Kan – “to the best of my ability” has always been Stickley’s guiding principle. The old Flemish craftsmen’s phrase was marked right on the product in the early years, to assure customers that every piece of Stickley furniture was made with skill, determination and integrity.
Wonderful store with helpful and informed staff. We have bought several pieces there. We have not been disappointed. Even if you are just looking, the staff is available to provide decorating tips and information. No pressure or pretense.
