The following images are offered from my friend, Bill Mathews' estate.
From this point on, my own inventory begins again. Thanks.

Rare Gustav Stickley corner cabinet, circa 1912. Original finish. double signed, paper label and burned in mark. The open construction of the upper doors with only a single muntin per door allows for clearer display of objects inside the case. It also features a small middle drawer which as far as I know is unique to the firm's corner cabinets. 29" x 40" x 72". $80,000.

A large repousse tray with ceramic cabochons made by the Potteries Guild of Cripples, c. 1905. 26″ wide, 12 1/2″ high and 1″ deep. $1,400. The Duchess of Sutherland Cripples Guild was formed in 1900 on behalf of the disabled children from the Staffordshire Potteries which employed children, and were notorious for their unsafe working practices. Disabled children were taught craft skills and produced items that could be retailed through the Guild. (The tray and its paraphrased history thanks to David Marshall.)

Pastel landscape of Menlo, 1906 by Lucia Mathews. 11" x 14", image only. This pastel was done on a sheet of sandpaper so that the bits of silica would add reflected light to her tonalist landscape. It was exhibited in the Oakland Museum show on the Matthew's work in 2006. The artwork remains in its original Rabjohn & Morcum frame. $35,000.

Giuseppe Cadenasso, "Lake Aliso, at Twilight", Mills College c. 1900. This California tonalist oil was in the estate of his widow. I assume it is she who is in the boat on the lake with water lillies. Cadenasso was the head of the Art department at Mills College at the turn of the century. Signed lower left. 27"W x 21"H. The painting had a lot of craqueleure which has been professionally and reversably restored. $22,000.

Michigan chair company rush seated arm chair, stained maple, c.1905. Influenced by the Forbes made firm of A. Page Brown, Worcester-inspired armchairs c.1894 for the Swedenborgian Church in San Francisco. 39.5"H x 241/2"W x 24"D.
