GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In 1905, one year after Gustav Stickley hired German émigré Valentine Marks “Max” Kluge as the head of the Craftsman Workshops’ metal shop, he released a catalogue of “Hand-Wrought Metal Work” that included andirons, fire sets, table lamps, lanterns, chandeliers, wall plaques, and other items. In keeping with the Art and Crafts mode, Stickley’s electric light fixtures were intended to subdue the harsh glare of the new electric blub and express handcraftsmanship through richly planished and patinated surfaces. With its spade or peacock eye piercings, bud finials, and riveted strapwork, this sconce is representative of the Craftsman Workshops’ finest metalwork.

NOTES
Updated the name of the company from The Gustav Stickley Company to The Gustave Stickley Company -- at the time, Gustav Stickley still used the "e" at the end of his name. JBA (11/1/2017)
Added more tags and TMS Updates -Geo Xrefs place of origin, business location (The Gustave Stickley Company) - JBA 10/16/2017
TMS object record listed The Gustav Stickley Company (1989-1901) and Gustav Stickley's United Crafts (1901-1903) as manufacturers in addition to The Craftsman Workshops. I removed The Gustav Stickley Company and United Crafts from the Consitituents Module.
