Modern Upholstery

In 1900 Leopold Stickley and his younger brother, John George, bought a furniture factory and incorporated it four years later as L. & J.G. Stickley. Their first furniture line, handcrafted mission oak, was an aesthetic that stressed function and beauty. In 1916, changing public taste inaugurated the Cherry Valley Collection that consisted of classic American designs made of solid cherry wood. Considered as one of America's most distinctive cherry lines, Stickley furniture is recognized for its authentic designs and integrity of construction. By 1957, the company was one of the most recognized furniture companies in the United States. In addition to the historic Mission Collection, it also produces traditional 18th century pieces, select pieces from the Williamsburg Reserve Collection, 21st century, metropolitan, French and Stickley Fine Upholstery collections. L. & J.G. Stickley is located in Archdale, N.C.
