Tracking prices for Gustav Stickley furniture is relatively straightforward with resources like LiveAuctioneers. Although it's important to note that these are auction prices, not retail, and they exclude buyer's premiums and shipping costs. Keep in mind that market values can fluctuate significantly over time based on the demand for specific forms.
Our price guide reflects a wide range of quality for each form. The low end covers pieces with condition issues that require restoration. The middle represents items that are market ready, and the high end is reserved for pieces with exemplary qualities. Occasionally a piece may possess a feature that makes it more valuable than our highest price. In addition to condition, factors such as dimensions, escutcheons, and finish can also affect pricing.
Exceptional examples are extremely rare, and their listed prices should be viewed with caution. Often, only one or two collectors worldwide might be interested in such a piece, and once they acquire it, the price can drop significantly. A prime example is the best library table, which once sold at a John Toomey auction for over $300,000. Today, it's unlikely that another example would achieve a similar price. This trend applies to many of the best and most exceptional forms.
When the price is listed as N/A, it indicates that there are too few examples available to establish a reliable price range.
