Stickley Harvey Ellis Desk and Deck

This writing table was originally designed in 1903-04 by architect/designer Harvey Ellis during his brief tenure with Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman Workshops. A few years ago an original sold at Christie’s for $74,000. It features nine stationary cubbies behind upper doors that are flanked by three small drawers on each side of the deck. The desk is made of solid, quarter-sawn oak and its drawers, like those on all reissued pieces, are side-hung and center-guided. The bronze pulls of the desk and deck are surrounded by copper inlay rings. Uniquely stylized floral inlays of various hardwoods (including maple, cherry, black walnut, ebony and pearl wood) adorn the deck doors and desk sides.  This desk is in excellent shape with only a few small, minor scratches.
