Modern Quarter Sawn Oak Tall Pedestal of Stickley Style

This pedestal was constructed of solid quarter-sawn oak in the tradition of period Stickley style pedestals of the American Art and Crafts era. It is contemporary, however, as it was made for a special exhibit at the gallery. This Modern Quarter Sawn Oak Tall Pedestal of Stickley Style is signed with the initials of the maker.

The artist, Jack Holtman, was living in Albuquerque, New Mexico when we commissioned him to make several Arts and Crafts Mission Oak pedestals for an exhibit of pottery in 1992. This is one of those commissioned. Holtman later moved to Denver because he found it easier to find quarter sawn oak for his furniture making business. He passed away in 2010.

Condition: very good condition

Provenance: directly from the artist
