(Newswire.net — April 5, 2013) St. Louis, MO — Sarah Lanigan, Director of Stickley Museum in Fayetteville, New York will be making a rare appearance at Dau Home Furnishings in St. Louis on April 11th from 6 to 9pm.
Attendees will enjoy a very special insider’s look into one of America’s most legendary furniture companies as the curator/director shares images, anecdotes and historical tidbits normally reserved for tour groups and visitors to the museum. She’ll be bringing it all alive in this special presentation where the museum will be brought directly to those in attendance.
So rarely does a curator venture out and leave the walls of the building they oversee and care for,” said, Dana Dean, Territory Manager for New York based L & JG Stickley, “I am so pleased to have Sarah coming to visit our St. Louis Stickley enthusiasts and the family at Dau Home Furnishings. I have had the privilege of walking through the Stickley Museum in Fayetteville New York with Sarah on several occasions. She has wonderful stories and insight on the history of Stickley, one of the oldest and most unique, American furniture manufacturers remaining in the United States today,”
The Stickley Museum in Fayetteville, New York is located in what was the original L&JG Stickley factory, and was officially opened in 2007. Since this time the facility has attracted enthusiasts from across the USA, Canada, France, Germany and England.
Upon arriving and touring the Stickley Museum you will find antiques dating back over 200 years, as many of the items on display were originally owned by Leopold Stickley.
The 110 plus year old L&JG Stickley Company has been widely known for manufacturing Arts & Crafts Mission style furniture, including the historical 220 Prairie settle and 406 Morris chair.
What makes this event with Sarah Lanigan so special and rare is the simple fact that she doesn’t usually travel and get the opportunity to share the history of this furniture manufacturing legend.
“Being in business for over 118 years, we serve St. Louis with only the best furniture and Stickley is the best of the best. We have been a proud Stickley dealer for over 25 years and we are very excited to have Sarah share her fresh perspective on the History of Stickley Furniture with our St. Louis community,” commented Ryan Dau of Dau Home Furnishings in St Louis.
So for all of the furniture and antique enthusiasts and history buffs in the St. Louis Missouri metro area, this will be one evening to remember. Contact Ryan Dau of Dau Home Furnishings at (636) 394-3005 for more information or to reserve your seat.
