STICKLEY BROTHERS : Five brothers from Osceola, Wisconsin—Gustav, Albert, Charles, Leopold, and John George—began making furniture at their uncle's factory in Brandt, Pennsylvania, around 1877. Through sixty years of collaboration and competition, these men profoundly affected American furniture. From 1883 to 1918, every Stickley worked with each brother in at least one venture, though at no time did all five work together. They are known for their very hi quality and hi end furniture pieces.
