Several Stickley furniture details are incorporated into this piece. The legs are cut from a select board of solid cherry, and mitered together vertically. This creates an appealing grain pattern that wraps around the faces of each leg. Although non- structural, these solid looking legs, about 2.5 inches square, are applied to each side of the lower cabinet.........   Where the lower cabinets face frame meets the upper and lower part of each leg, a square peg detail is inlayed (made from West Indian rosewood) and mimics traditional mortise and tenon, pinned joinery............................
Rather than concealed euro hinges, more traditional , non-mortise hinges with an antique brass finish are used.
mullions, antique glass, and mission style hardware add to the projects appeal................

The objective for this project was to design, construct, and install a built-in dining room hutch that was more "furniture-like", and in the Arts and Crafts/Mission style. It would have to seamlessly fit into my client's elegantly appointed, early 1900's home, and proudly serve a beautiful Stickley dining room table.
