Hi Arica,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Gustav Stickley was the leading figure behind American Mission furniture, part of the broader Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century. Founded in 1900, his firm (later known as L. & J.G. Stickley and related Stickley companies) promoted honest craftsmanship, solid construction, and visible joinery. Mission style is characterized by quarter-sawn oak, straight lines, flat panels, mortise-and-tenon joints, and minimal ornament. Original pieces were often branded or labeled and are highly collectible today. Condition, original finish, and presence of marks strongly affect value, with authentic early examples commanding significant premiums over later reproductions.
As this lacks a brand or label, it would appropriately carry a fair market value of $400-600
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

Hi! I am so sorry! I thought I responded to your earlier email. Unfortunately, I see no sign saying Stickley. No markings.
Hi Arica,
I didn't see a response to my earlier question so am going ahead and appraising this as conditional appraisal until I can see a photo of the mark or label.
