This double door bookcase, an early Gustav Stickley masterpiece, has all the hallmarks of his first Arts and Crafts designer, Henry Wilkinson. Henry Wilkinson came to Gustav Stickley’s United Crafts in 1900. He was a native of the City of Syracuse, and studied at Cornell University under Charles Babcock, Cornell’s first professor of architecture and promoter of Gothic Revival architecture. Gothic Revival architecture, with its dramatic, pointed arches, called to mind the towering European churches of the Middle Ages. This medieval style echoed the dramatic, age old sensibilities of the Arts and Crafts Movement. On this bookcase, the trumpeted mullions create illusory gothic arcs along the top. The bracketed bottom also provides a substantive, rooted base. As with many of these first experiments in “Stickley style,” the result is massive, intimidating, and unsurprisingly reminiscent of Gothic design. To celebrate Gustav Stickley’s 150th Birthday in 2008, Stickley revived the #89-0510 Commemorative Bookcase. It is a part of the tremendous legacy of Stickley furniture crafted for the home office, library or study.
