Below are some photos of the furniture collection at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse. Small collection but very nice pieces.

The inlaid chair is on loan from David Rudd at Dalton's. We also stopped by his place - highly recommended. I didn't take any pictures there since you can view most of the inventory and many pictures of the interior at their web site. David was super nice - he talked to us about new pieces he had, answered lots of questions, and told us what to see in Syracuse - all while it was quite obvious we were not going to be buying any furniture!

Very nice. A Gus book stand like the centre piece in the top picture just sold on eBay - a little rough, went for 1000+ I think.

There is/was a TV show called the Antique Hunter, up my way, which did a spot about Dalton's a year ago maybe, and I think they mentioned that a fair number of people just drop in to look and not buy, which I guess makes it a bit of a tourist attraction in itself.

Steve,

Thanks again for these images!

Thank you for the pictures. It is nice to see the Everson recognizing the local heritage for a change. When we were in Syracuse, they were totally focused on bizarre ceramic pieces and ignored the Stickley heritage.

Dalton's is in a section of town known as Eastlake. A house once owned by Gustav is nearby, and Eastlake is the name of a finish offered on the modern Stickley reproductions. Bev wrote a piece on David Rudd for a local paper many years ago, long before he became nationally known.
