Inventory No: A1004 $475.00 This is an original Stickley Brothers desk, model 2808 in very good condition. I believe is was probably refinished at some time but I have no idea how long ago. All of the hardware is original. It is in excellent condition, nothig loose or missing. The top measures 52" wide by 30" deep and it is 29-1/2" high. The top is splined with the typical 1/8" thick by 1/2" wide splines found on Stickley Brothers furniture.
One end.

Typical Stickley Brothers spline.
The scratch in the top next to my cell phone is the most significant defect in the desk.
The back.
This is not a great photo of the top, it is not as uneven in color as it appers. The photo to the left is a much better representation.

| Arts and Crafts Library Table
This is the most incredible library table I've come across in a long time. Wonderfully shaped Mc Murdo style feet, unique stretchers with a small shelf in the center. The top is 3 - 12" wide boards 48" long with great figuring. The top boards are splined. On both ends is a small shelf for your favorite books. It is a standard 30" high. The top is notched around the legs and the legs are cut flush with the top. Many of the library tables of this era had deep drawers or wide aprons that made it difficult if not impossible to get your legs (well, knees really) under the table. The apron on this table is only a few inches wide so sitting here is no problem. The table is unmarked as to manufacturer but is definitely a well made
table

The color on the above photo has been adjusted to make the spline more visible.

The top has a few stains on one end as shown above, however they are less pronounced as the above photo would indicate. See the photo below.
