Sideboard Table. Culture: American. Designer: Designed by Gustav Stickley (American, Osceola, Wisconsin 1858-1942 Syracuse, New York). Dimensions: 39 1/2 x 48 x 21 1/2 in. (100.3 x 121.9 x 54.6 cm). Date: ca. 1901.In 1899, Gustav Stickley, a leading designer and proselytizer of the American Arts and Crafts movement, founded the Craftsmen Workshops (called United Crafts before 1904) to manufacture his line of furniture. Simply designed for ease of manufacture, Craftsman furniture was modestly priced to appeal to the average American. The massive tenon-and-key joints protruding from the ends of this sideboard and the bold butterfly joints on the doors are typical of early Stickley designs in which structural elements are accentuated for decorative effect. The 1901 Stickley catalogue "Chips from the Workshops of Gustave sic Stickley, Syracuse, N.Y., U.S.A." illustrated this form as "Side Board No. 901." The sideboard bears a decal with an early Stickley mark, used only in 1902 and 1903
