Catalogue Note

The present lot is one of only a few known examples of this rare and quintessential Stickley cabinet form, including an example in the collection of the Two Red Roses Foundation which descended in the family of Stickley designer, LaMont Warner. The example offered here is the only known example to feature copper cladding to the lead caming, which is visually harmonious to the cabinet's hand-hammered copper hardware.
