Stickley Furniture: Re: Re: Great article!

That's probably why you can't afford anything but repros - in your area people are too aware of the value of a Stickley piece. It's like my living in Dorflinger glass territory and you can't touch the proces - but in New Orleans I picked up a lovely wine glass for $2.

You know, I always hated that style until I came face to face with a real Stickley. I don't know what it is, but what looks clumsy and heavy in most pieces becomes graceful in a Stickley.

I have some real mission furniture in my home office - the partner's desk where we both have our computers, which once belonged to a railroad, and a lovely bookcase with glass doors that has no maker's mark but which has enough grace to make me think it may be one of the brothers, if not Gustav himself.
