Noriega Furniture: California’s Premier Stickley Dealer
Noriega Furniture has been California’s premier Stickley dealer since 1976, dedicated to offering timeless, high-quality furniture. Our journey to find the finest pieces led us to Stickley, a brand renowned for craftsmanship, design, and integrity. Today, we proudly display Stickley’s iconic collections in our showroom, trusted by homeowners and public institutions across the U.S. and beyond.
The Stickley Legacy: Craftsmanship and Integrity
Gustav Stickley marked each piece with the phrase Als Ik Kan, meaning “to the best of my ability.” This seal of quality assured customers that Stickley furniture embodied the finest materials and construction, crafted with honor and pride. In the early 20th century, the Stickley brothers gained global acclaim with their Mission Oak designs, which redefined furniture standards. Their style stood in direct opposition to the excessive ornamentation and poor craftsmanship common in early industrial pieces.
Honest Design and Lasting Quality
Stickley’s furniture philosophy focused on “honest” design, using solid construction, straightforward joinery, and premium woods. Their genius for functional beauty led to hundreds of new forms—pieces that were beautiful, durable, and perfectly suited to the evolving needs of American families. They believed that furniture’s function should define its form, a vision that still resonates today.
Stickley pieces aren’t meant for display alone; they’re designed to be loved and lived with. Each piece showcases the organic beauty of quartersawn oak and other fine woods, finished with clear dyes that highlight the natural grain. Stickley’s dedication to quality remains as strong today as it was a century ago.
Revitalization and Global Reputation
In the 1970s, E.J. Audi, a leading Stickley retailer in Manhattan, and his family saved the Stickley brand from closure. Alfred and Aminy Audi purchased the company, preserving its heritage and revitalizing its operations. Alfred’s promise to his team—“If you stick with me, I’ll stick with you”—fueled Stickley’s rebirth. Today, Stickley is recognized worldwide as a symbol of quality and craftsmanship.
Stickley: A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Modern Design
Stickley continues to honor its Mission and Arts & Crafts heritage, while adapting its furniture for today’s lifestyles. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern precision, Stickley ensures every piece stands as a long-term investment.

Cherry Finishes - American Black Cherry has a naturally broad spectrum of color and grain. At Stickley, craftspeople blend its shades and grain to create a balance on each piece, but variations will be visible. Like fine wine, cherry's color mellows and deepens with age, developing a rich patina over time. This natural phenomenon makes each piece of cherry furniture a unique work of art.
Oak Finishes - Quartersawn American white oak produces boards of great strength, less likely to crack, check or warp than flat-sawn timber and ideal for crafting furniture that will last for generations. Quartersawing also reveals the ray flake, a highly prized tiger-stripe pattern running across the grain that makes each piece of furniture unique.
Mahogany Wood- To protect the species, Stickley sources only plantation-grown Mahogany from Honduras, where the forests are managed and sustainable. This tropical hardwood is prized for a rich reddish-brown color that deepens over time. It lends itself to intricate carving, and crotch mahogany veneers create stunning feather-like grain patterns.
Walnut Wood - Black Walnut is one of the hardest and most durable of the American hardwoods. Its grain is primarily straight, but occasional knots, curls, and burls give it character. The wood also achieves a silky smoothness with sanded and finished. Stickley’s Walnut Grove collection is a gorgeous example of the beauty and versatility of American Black Walnut.
