How Stickley Furniture Becomes Valuable Family Heirlooms

Why does Stickley hold its value? Because it's Made in America, because top-grain leather wears like iron. I've got a leather Stickley chair over there that we bought at an auction for, I think it was $25,000. It's now worth about $50,000. It is a Stickley, the original leather recliner, built around 1910. It still looks great, and the frame on the chair is still in use today. Classic Arts and Crafts styling, that's Stickley. It is a classic piece of furniture. It holds its value quite often. It increases in value. That's why Stickley is the number one producer of Made in America antique furniture.
