CHARLES STICKLEY, THE BROTHER THAT STAYED BEHIND.

While four of the Stickley brothers made their mark on the furniture industry after leaving Binghamton, N.Y. Charles Sticlley, the 2nd oldest remained behind. Choosing to seek his fortune within the shelter of his extended Families, the Schlagers (on his Mothers side ) and the Brandt's (his in-laws).These Family connections enabled Charles to establish a thriving arts and crafts furniture business. Charles was born in 1860 in Pscola, Wisconsin. In 1876 he joined his Brothers Albert and Gus at the Brant Chair Co. in Brendt Penn.

Charles Stickley married into the Brandt family in 1891 and formed the Stickley-Brandt Furniture Company. Of all the Stickley furniture companies formed, this is the only one whose catalogs have never been reprinted, and there is not a lot of documentation on the furniture designs made by the company. The pieces made by Charles Stickley that are held in the highest regard comprise of two parlor sets with massive rectangular front legs and cut outs in the slats of the couch and chairs.
