LUCKY you! And it is quaint, too!
Wow is right. Is it a Mission style piece? What happened on/in the left-hand side, looks like someone lost control with a paint can or some stain?
Congratulations.
It is TOTALLY Mission style.
Gustav Stickley (March 9, 1858 – April 21, 1942) was a furniture manufacturer, design leader, publisher and the chief proselytizer for the American Craftsman style, an extension of the British Arts and Crafts movement.
I still can't believe you found this at a thrift store! Found some very similar desks on their furniture site. So, so envious.
This is The Brothers, though.
"The company label reflected this shift, and by 1926 the label was changed to simply read, “Quaint Furniture of Character, Stickley Bros. Co.” By 1928 it was further simplified to just “Quaint Furniture.” By the mid-1930s, the only reference to Quaint in the company label was found in the Art Nouveau-style logo that had been employed since 1902. From the 1930s to the 1950s when the company closed, Stickley Brothers produced “country” informal versions of American Colonial styles that eventually fit in nicely with the “early American” look of the late 1940s and early 1950s. - See more at:
