QUAINT FURNITURE ARTS AND CRAFTS STICKLEY BROS. CO. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. incl. Genuine Russia and Spanish Morocco Leather and Russion Hand Beaten Copper
by Turn of the Century Editions, NY, 1981.
"Grand Rapids, Michigan was a furniture manufacturing center long before George and Albert Stickley moved there in 1891. The work of these two younger brothers of Gustav Stickley clearly shows his influence.  In this catalogue, issued circa 1908, some original and noteworthy designs began to appear.  It is not widely known, for instance, that Stikley Brothers made lighting fixtures and beaten copper objects for use and ornamentation, and they are pictured here.  The firm adopted the trademark "Quaint Furniture" in conjunction with "Stickley Brothers Co. of Grand Rapids" during this early period.  To meet the growing interest in the American Arts and Crafts Movement, we are republishing this catalogue in its entirety for use of curators, scholars and collectors."
