Notes
The production of Stickley’s inlaid furniture is not well understood at this point, and if the starting date is relatively certain, the terminal date for these earlier pieces of inlaid furniture should be treated with caution. The publication of the forms in The Craftsman and the Sales Journals from 1904 reliably indicate these forms were being produced in those years, but whether they were manufactured beyond this point remains unknown. Stickley certainly used inlay on furniture through at least 1913, as later examples of furniture including his “New Craftsman Piano,” and a sideboard in the Craftsman Restaurant attest to. Extant inventories that have not yet been transcribed or additional information may shed further light on the topic that enables us to date these earlier inlaid items with more certainty.
