$7,500.00
Gustav Stickley’s most productive years were between 1905 and 1912, a period during which his company, The Craftsman Workshops, experienced significant growth and influence in the American Arts and Crafts movement. This era is extensively documented by David Cathers, a leading scholar on Stickley, in his authoritative monograph, “Gustav Stickley.”
During this time, Stickley’s designs emphasized simplicity, functionality, and the use of high-quality materials, particularly quarter-sawn white oak. His furniture pieces, characterized by their solid construction and minimal ornamentation, became synonymous with the Craftsman style. The period also saw the expansion of his publication, “The Craftsman” magazine, which disseminated his design philosophy and promoted the Arts and Crafts movement across the United States.
Stickley’s commitment to craftsmanship and design during these years left a lasting legacy on American furniture design, influencing subsequent generations of designers and artisans.
The Gustav Stickley Model #818 serving table is a versatile piece that complements various settings throughout the home. Crafted between 1905 and 1912, this table features three drawers above an open shelf, providing ample storage and display options. Its dimensions—approximately 39 inches tall, 48 inches wide, and 20 inches deep—make it suitable for dining rooms, living areas, or entryways. The table is constructed from quarter-sawn American white oak, known for its durability and distinctive grain pattern, and retains its original fumed finish, highlighting the wood’s natural beauty. The copper hardware adds to its authentic Craftsman aesthetic.
