5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value, June 26, 2000

By 

Wayne Cease - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 1912 and 1915 Gustav Stickley Craftsman Furniture Catalogs (Paperback)

The photography is the old original work, and while it's not up to today's standards it is nice. There are prices for each piece, which is amusing, seeing a $12 price for a table.

There are measurements for most of the pieces, which is not surprising as the furniture was sold via catalog. There are no plans, this is from a catalog to sell furniture, not plans. But, between the pictures and the measurements you can develop your own plans.

There is also some history and text pages from Stickley's catalog/magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Launching Pad for Craftstman-style Interior Design, June 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The 1912 and 1915 Gustav Stickley Craftsman Furniture Catalogs (Paperback)

The best candidates for this book are those who have purchased or are planning to purchase a Craftsman-style home; however, that should not exclude those who just want to replicate the style in their decor. Although there are many style characteristics of the Arts & Crafts era that are easily identified, this book sheds light on a wide spectrum of pieces with literal authenticity.

While not a complete collection (items such as light switch coverplates and heating register covers are not included) these reproductions of Stickley's catalogs are the perfect foundation for those looking to purchase Craftsman-style interior accents.

If you desire to maintain as much as possible the look of the Arts & Crafts movement in your interior design, this book should definitely be a staple in your library.
