Gustav Stickley Dinner Gong

The Gustav Stickley Dinner Gong — an Arts and Crafts era decorative accessory produced around the early 1900s — was designed and produced under the direction of Gustav Stickley as part of the broader Craftsman Workshops/United Crafts output of furniture and accessories during that period. Gustav Stickley — American furniture designer and leading figure in the American Arts and Crafts movement — is credited with the creation of the Dinner Gong or the workshop responsible for it. Early museum records list the creator as “Gustave Stickley or United Crafts”, indicating it was produced under his direction or workshop program. Typically quarter-sawn oak with a bronze or copper gong in exceptional original finish and measuring 36 1/4″ tall x 23″ wide x 10″ deep.
