Notes
The straight rail and gently curved legs distinguish this model from other beds Stickley produced during this time.
The furniture shown in this article is the earliest mention of inlaid furniture available in a wood other than oak. According to the text: “The moveables are of the beautiful maple wood which is obtainable in a soft, satin finish, and the textiles are chosen in accordance with the exposure of the room.” I am grateful to David Cathers for pointing me towards this article and the images. It is unclear, because of the angle from which this bed is shown, whether it had an inlay pattern.
