History and Description
Introduced into the Stickley Mission Collection at April Market 1991 in oak only. Followed by an introduction in Cherry in October 1993.

Originally designed by Gustav Stickley's designer Harvey Ellis in 1901. The original inlay work was a combination of metals. Later examination shows the metal more likely to pop out of place. The re-issued designs are a combination of maple and cherry wood. The inlaid back panels are necessarily engineered using veneer panels to eliminate delamination seen on early solid wood panels.
No particular significance can be placed on the actual design of the inlay except for the fact that Harvey Ellis was an advocate of Japanese art and his designs emphasized stylized floral and plant motifs. The design on this chair takes its inspiration from a milkweed pod.
