Gustav Stickley Arts and Crafts Mission-Style Oak Trestle Table, c. 1910

An exceptionally handsome circa 1910 Gustav Stickley Arts and Crafts movement Mission-style oak trestle table.

Originally designed as a writing desk or library table, it could also now serve as a modestly-sized dining table. Features thick quarter-sawn solid oak construction with fantastic figuring throughout, and was hand-crafted in Stickley’s Eastwood, N.Y. workshop.

Substantial H 15.63 in. x W 33.5 in. x D. 10.88 in. shelf-like stretcher intersects the trestle sides and is locked-in by oversized removable pins that provide a signature design detail. Base has a straight low-profile bottom indentation rather than the more commonly seen scalloped one. All visible screw holes have flush oak plugs.

Original partial label on underside with Stickley logo and a lengthy description “signed” Gustav Stickley. This confirms that it was made by him and not his brother Leopold, who founded L. & J.G. Stickley. Next to the label is the number “673” handwritten in black wax pencil.

Dimensions: Height: 29.88 in Width: 48 in Depth: 29.75 in

Condition: Good Replacements made: Two of the eight screws securing the top to the base are more recent Phillips-head replacements; the remaining six are original slotted-head. Wear consistent with age and use. In great antique condition. Minimal signs of age or use, other than a light, irregular scratch on top, and a few tiny marks elsewhere. Has very slight wobble due to its construction or wood having a tiny bit of play that it acquired over the decades.
