The heyday
of Stickley arts and crafts furniture was lo-o-ng over by 1960 -- not to be revived until the 'nineties, when new owners brought back some of the original designs. What the company was making in the postwar period would be news to be.

The heyday for "arts and crafts'
was not 1960....try 1920.

I think that's what SDR was...
I think that's what SDR was saying, but if you really want to split hairs, the heyday of the Arts & Crafts movement in the USA was probably closer to 1912 or a couple years before.
And, even the exceptional fake - in the early days of this era's rediscovery - has been worth thousands.
The furniture marked Stickley after about the mid 20s until Audi bought the company a few years ago (being by brother Leopold, as Gustav declared bankruptcy in 1915) falls in the furniture design category known as Colonial Revival. I think the Cherry Valley line began production in the early 1920s and ran for many years, is nice as far as nice goes, but uninspired other than in terms of marketability, and thus pretty common.

Interesting. . .
The aesthetic composition is odd: five panels on the front, with the legs not well-related to the battens -- and what's with those three seams (or marks) on the top ?

I don't collect Arts and Crafts
but everytime I see a piece shown on "Antiques Roadshow", here in the US, I get a warm feeling that this is one of the true early examples of what will become "modern".
Classic and beautiful.

Yes, Arts and Crafts, with its clean and largely rectilinear lines and surfaces, makes a nice precedent for the modern phase to come.
The above is a post-WW II piece, not a pre-WW I Arts and Crafts object -- in case folks are confused by this conversation. "Stickley brothers" would refer to L. and J.G. Stickley (as the firm was called, and the pieces labeled), relatives of Gustav Stickley, the original maker of Arts and Crafts furnishings under that name.
