Rustic Hickory Furniture Company
Oval center or dining table, c.1920
hickory with oak top  30"h x 72" x 42"
$4500

This is a fantastic and extremely rare piece in outstanding original condition.  It came from a rustic camp in upper Michigan, and apparently has never been used.  I have never seen another one like it - everyone who comes in is immediately drawn to it, whether they like rustic style pieces or not.

Magazine stand with cut-out sides, c.1905
chestnut  44"h x 18"w x 14"d
$1800

Who doesn't have just the spot for this kind of piece?  Ideal for a special collection of pottery, currently-read books, small electronic equipment, and so on.  The cut-outs on the sides give it a vaguely English feel, and serve to enliven the design.  In pristine original condition, it beautifully demonstrates why Gustav Stickley praised the virtues of chestnut so highly - the depth of color and figuring are beautiful.  An additional detail that is so subtle it has to be the result of a skilled and mature designer: the through-tenons are gently rounded.  Click on the picture for a larger image and see what I mean.

Stickley Bros.
Cane-sided Prairie-style library table, c.1910
oak with original cane
$2800

This is a beautiful, elegant little table in extraordinary original condition and finish.  I personally like these caned pieces a lot.  They are precise, simple, beautifully-proportioned and elegant.  Not everyone has caught on to their appeal yet, but they will, and the prices will no doubt increase.  Buy this table now, and show everyone else how prescient you were!

Stickley Bros
Postcard desk, c.1905
oak with copper hardware
35"h x 36"w x 23"d
$2400
In the Arts & Crafts period, letter writing held a far greater place in people's lives than it does today.  Personal and house-hold correspondence was generally the pervue of the wife, and consequently many desks were designed on a delicate, decorative model in order to accommodate this task with style.  This little desk is typical of the type, with small drawers in the gallery to hold writing and postage supplies, and a large center drawer below the writing surface to hold sheets of stationery and other large items.  This is a great piece for a corner of the living room or even as a bedside table or bedroom piece
