Stickley’s American-made Mission furniture holds an enduring place in the history of design. Its original pieces, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and its rejection of the mass-produced, uninspired designs of the Victorian era, emphasized hardwood construction, simple lines, and the skill of the hand-craftsman. Reissued in 1989, our Mission-style furniture continues to celebrate the honest materials, clean, practical forms, and lasting craftsmanship that defined it from the start of the 20th century.
MISSION
An infusion of new Mission pieces brings fresh energy to our signature collection. You’ll find occasional and upholstered furniture, a new rug design, and more Little Treasures!
Our Mission collection is handcrafted in Upstate New York from the highest-quality hardwoods. Solid American white oak is quartersawn to reveal ray flake patterning that makes each piece unique, and solid American black cherry develops a rich patina over time.
Visible, dependable construction features like mortise-and-tenon joinery, quadralinear posts, and side-hung, center-guided drawers were perfected by Leopold Stickley to make Mission furniture exceedingly strong and long-lasting.
To highlight every detail of the wood’s grain, we use only clear, hand-applied finishes in a variety of tones, each one chosen to best show off the intrinsic beauty of the species.
For proof of the staying power of classic Mission design, look no further than the pieces that remain Stickley best-sellers year after year.
For your favorite Mission pieces, choose quartersawn white oak for a deeply grained, dimensional appearance, or cherry for a subtler grain, rich in patina.
Mission finishes have a unique clarity seldom seen in furniture today, ensuring that every detail of the wood grain is not only visible but beautifully enhanced.
Made with a variety of antiqued metal finishes, vintage Mission hardware styles range from bail pulls to hammered pyramidal knobs.
For more than 120 years, Stickley has stood for unparalleled American craft. And our story began with three words: “Als Ik Kan”—to the best of my ability.
Well-made furniture sets the scene for a lifetime of memories. Thoughtful and time-honored construction features are the Stickley Difference.
Over 90% of our products are handcrafted in Upstate New York or Archdale, North Carolina, by teams of talented local artisans and skilled workers.
Respect for the natural world is a tradition that goes back to our founding. Through mindful manufacturing, we seek to live, work, and create in harmony with nature.
