Mission Oak Desk by Stickley Arts & Crafts Spindle Office Library Writing Table
A gorgeous, noteworthy and rare Mission Oak desk in wonderful condition. Made by highly esteemed American Arts & Crafts specialists L. & J.G. Stickley in 1993, this strikingly attractive and highly practical desk will add gorgeous golden-oak colouring, timeless quality, traditional charm and bygone craftsmanship to any interior.
Reassuringly heavy and a great size for a desk, this special piece is traditionally handcrafted from solid Quarter-Sawn or ‘Tiger’ oak, ensuring ultimate strength and durability as well as the gorgeous, rich tones and sensational golden ‘Tiger’ stripes of the quarter-sawn oak grain. Particularly rare, this desk features the much sought-after spindle sides, which really sets it apart as an enviably attractive, traditional piece of furniture design. All solid oak and traditionally crafted with mortise and tenon pegged joints, it has a large plank top overhanging robust squared legs with inset sides and stretchers, between which the stunning squared spindles proudly stand. There are two large, dovetail-jointed drawers with robust and traditional hammered-copper handles.
The Stickley family have been leaders of Arts & Crafts and Mission Oak furniture since 1900 and have built up a reputation for second-to-none quality and world-renowned design. A rarity for its design, this remarkable desk is undoubtedly a genuine Stickley original, having several makers marks, including the L. & J.G. Stickley labels and stamps, the internally carved ‘JH’ craftsman’s initials and the date stamp of Oct 6th 1993 to the underside of one of the drawers.
All in all this is a remarkable Arts & Crafts desk, which will add genuine Stickley quality, gorgeous colouring and design, and a timelessly traditional aesthetic to any setting.
