PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
A reprint of two rare catalogs (circa 1908-1910) of furniture makers — brothers of Gustav Stickley — who played a key role in the Arts & Crafts movement. Over 200 illustrations.
Description
In 1902, four years after Gustav Stickley began building furniture in his United Crafts Workshops in Eastwood, New York, his brother Leopold established his own Arts and Crafts furniture business a few miles away in Fayetteville, a suburb of Syracuse, to which he soon recruited his brother J. George. They initially used the trademark "Onondaga Shops, " for the country in which it was located; by 1910 they were labeling their furniture "Handcraft."
About the Author

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.
