Albert Stickley History
Once upon a time, there were five boys from Osceola, Wisconsin named Stickley - Gustav, Albert, Charles, Leopold and John George. They were all interested in furniture-making - and when they grew up, they did just that, sometimes working together, sometimes in competition. In early 20th-century America, there were four different companies bearing the name Stickley. Here's a breakdown of them, with their sample wares - illustrating the evolution of furniture styles, especially within the Arts and Crafts movement.

Albert Stickley's cabin and work
In 1891, Albert Stickley opened a company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the center of the American furniture-making industry at that time. It was dubbed "Stickley Brothers" because he was accompanied by his youngest brother John George, who eventually moved back east to team up with Leopold. Albert kept the "Brothers" in the name, but gradually began shifting his designs toward British-influenced Arts and Crafts furniture, which he marketed as "Quaint" - as indicated by its somewhat more decorative style.
