They, S&B had a line of furniture marketed toward summer cottages and verandas that had a rather strange design, a bit art deco(imo) approximately 1905's. Is this sought after as much as the mission stuff? Does it command a premium? I have seen a few pieces and can't really find any valuations- I think it may have +value as it is not around as much due to it being outside and it was geared to the affluent, so not as much was sold. Any thoughts?

Interesting. S&B were not very prolific and their designs seem to be hit and miss; still collectable nonetheless. I can't say I've heard of the cottage stuff (from these guys anyways, others yes, like Limbert) - have any pics or other references?

Reference for this line is in "Stickley Brothers", by Michael Clark & Jill Thomas Clark, (hardcover) page 30, an advert for this furiture line by Stickley & Brandt. It states the line was a big hit at the 1904 Worlds Fair, and was fairly ornate.

SC- Found this on eBay- Just like to one in the advert! could prove to be a nice piece. way cheap, needs a seat cover but looks whole. Only problem is no shipping! Anyone near Philly could pick up.

Note: If anyone wins this and can send some pictures and a bit of info on it the would be great.

Cool, I had no idea when I first saw that chair surfing through eBay just last night. It's a very funky chair and even cooler to have it identified. It's worth a try to message the seller and say you'll pay extra if he ships.

I think I need to pick up the Clark book now; its little morsels of info like this that make the difference when out hunting.

I asked about shipping. The buyer must set it up and pay. I think that it puts the chair a bit over the top due to high cost of shipping with using a mover. I will poke around and see if there are any alternatives.

The easiest way is Greyhound, station to station. Check their website for the station closest to you and you can get an estimate. The seller has to take it to a station and you pick it up at the closest station to you. The best way to ship a chair is in a big box from an electronics store or furniture store - they are glad to get rid of them and the boxes are usually pretty good and thick walled (as anyone who has bought a big TV lately can verify), so suggest to the seller to try this, and then stuff some extra chunks of folded up cardboard around the chair and in the box to prevent it from rattling around. So if Greyhound might be no more than 50 bucks and you offer the seller 30-50 extra for his efforts, it could add less than 100 to the chair.

Greyhound works as long as the seller is willing to crate it. I've used Craters & Freighters - they will pick up from buyer & package it for you as well. I paid about $300 for packaging & shipping from Dallas to Denver a month ago. Total that I paid was still less than buying locally. Maybe not in your case, though, in this circumstance.

I would love to have that chair. You definitely don't see many of them around. I noticed that set of chairs in the Stickley book a while back and always thought it was really different and really really cool. I especially like the one on the left. See attached.
