Gustov Stickley is considered by many to be the father of the American Arts
and Crafts movement. He designed much of the furniture that we think of
when we think of Arts and Crafts, or Mission, furniture. Many of the other
furniture designers of this style had worked for Stickley at one time or another
and were no doubt influenced by him.
