Huge mortise and tenon frame. The biggest frame we’ve ever made!

Our Mortise & Tenon frames come in several basic types:

THE JOINERY THAT SETS THESE FRAMES APART has been a hallmark of the best Craftsman style furniture since Gustav Stickley began manufacturing his line in 1901. Nearly a century later, the simple detail of pinned mortise-and-tenon joints — especially exposed, or through-tenons, as used in our Four-Square frames — still evokes those virtues of quality, honesty and authenticity that have drawn such a following to the Movement. It is these timeless virtues embodied by the Arts and Crafts spirit that we’ve strived to capture in our work.

“I endeavored to to turn such structural devices as the mortise and tenon to ornamental use; to employ them in such a way as to force them to give accent and variety to the outlines of the object in which they occurred.” — Gustav Stickley
