THE JOINERY THAT SETS THESE FRAMES APART has
been a hallmark of the best Craftsman style furniture since Gustav
Stickley began manufacturing his line in 1901. Nearly a century
later, the simple detail of pinned mortise-and-tenon joints —
especially exposed, or through-tenons, as used in our Four-Square
frames — still evokes those virtues of quality, honesty and
authenticity that have drawn such a following to the Movement. It
is these timeless virtues embodied by the Arts and Crafts spirit
that we’ve strived to capture in our work.
Our Mortise & Tenon frames come in several
basic types:
Four-Square
• Basics
• Decoratives
• Cloisters
• Kelmscotts

“I endeavored to to turn such structural
devices as the mortise and tenon to ornamental use; to employ them
in such a way as to
force them to give accent and variety to the outlines of
the object in which they occurred.” — Gustav Stickley
