This previously obscure catalog issued by Gustav Stickley
provides insights into the extended range of textiles
and other soft goods that he offered for sale as accessories
to his furniture.
In this book, Stickley provides descriptions and his recommendations
for use of his fabrics as portieres, window curtains,
upholstery, table scarfs, and centerpieces. His call for
the arrangement of color, form, and texture in the selection
of furniture and accompanying accessories, based on the
principle of maintaining a complementary foreground-background
relationship, anticipated what many Arts and Crafts collectors
are now seeking a sensitivity to and a sensibility about
harmonious integration of all elements in one s living
space.
