Gustav Stickley is known today as the creator of Craftsman progressive furniture designs in ammonia-fumed quartersawn white oak in subtle, plain designs. Most famous is the Stickley chair. Hammered metal hardware, in armor-bright polished iron or patinated copper emphasized the handmade qualities of furniture which was fabricated using both handworking techniques and modern woodworking machinery within Stickley's Eastwood factory, New York (now a part of Syracuse, New York). Dyed leather, canvas, terry cloth and other upholstery materials complemented the designs. The "Gustav Stikley" furniture had a general decline after WW1. In recent years, Stickley style has become popular once more.
