TRADITIONAL
 Classic grace. Stately elegance. Future
family heirlooms that will welcome your guests in high style. In rich
mahogany or solid cherry, the Stickley Traditional Collection creates an
inviting, comfortable setting for the formal and fun celebrations of
your life.
Solid Cherry and Mahogany
The creation
of a Stickley piece begins with
the careful selection of the finest solid cherry or mahogany: sides,
tops and panels of all pieces are carefully matched
for grain and color. The wild black cherry trees from the Adirondacks
grow up to 150 feet high and 30 inches in
diameter. Cherry is one of the strongest woods in existence. It can be
readily tooled, it holds its shape and mellows beautifully with age,
developing a rich patina and a warmth of appearance. Honduras mahogany
has all the characteristics of an ideal cabinet wood. Grade for grade,
mahogany is superior to any other cabinet wood in lengths, widths and
freedom from defect, waste and sap. No other wood offers the wide
variety of figures created by the exciting twist and turns of the
grains. Mahogany is considered by many the king of cabinet woods. |
The
Art of Cabinet Making
The making of a piece of
Stickley furniture incorporates the most durable methods known to
cabinetmaking . . . techniques reminiscent of those used by
eighteenth century craftsmen. Among the unique features are a special
ogee foot, dovetailed cross rails, mortise and tenon pinned with dowels,
tongue-and groove glue joining, side-and center-guided drawers, the
pinning of chair joints, our own specially designed bed rail and casting
receivers, splining of mitred mirror joints, and ship lap planking on
the backs of hutches and chinas. These methods have been securely
established by the test of time as the standard of excellence.
Recognition of Stickley construction methods throughout the furniture
industry attest to their worth. The cabinetmaker proudly puts his
