Mastercraft Vitrine Cabinet

Mastercraft was founded in 1947 and was known for producing high quality furniture with bold, innovative designs which were rooted in classic forms.  In 1974 Mastercraft was acquired by Baker Furniture.  They continued with the tradition of making statement pieces and some of their most interesting and decorative furniture was made during this period.  This black lacquered, brass and glass cabinet is a great example of some of their more stylish seventies work.  It has three glass shelves and is lit by two spot lights.  It works nicely as a display cabinet but would also work well as a bar or bookcase.  Some of the other pieces from this series are worth a look.  Please click on the links to check them out.  https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/storage-case-pieces/cabinets/mastercraft-black-lacquered-patinated-bronze-cabinet/id-f_6728403/  https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/storage-case-pieces/credenzas/black-lacquered-brass-credenza-mastercraft/id-f_3262012/   https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/tables/console-tables/mid-century-modern-mastercraft-brass-console-table/id-f_6834593/

Faux Bamboo Armoire

This spectacular armoire was made in Brooklyn, NY in the late 19th century and has been in the same family ever since.  It features a pair of key locking mirrored doors and two key locking drawers below.  It has hand carved faux bamboo detailing throughout and turned finials on the pediment and corners.  The interior is currently outfitted for hanging clothing, but shelves could be added easily.  Modern or Victorian, modest or grand, whatever the size and style of your home, this piece would make a warm, wonderful and functional addition.  93" h., 54" l., 24" w.  American, c. 1890  SOLD

Casimir Szarkiewicz; Still Life with Bust

Casimir Szarkiewicz (1906-1972) was a Polish artist who lived and painted in Upstate New York for most of his life.  When I first saw this painting, something about it reminded me of the work of one of my favorite artists, Giorgio de Chirico.  I'm not sure if it is the subject matter, the way he has handled the light, or the colors he has chosen for this still life with Beethoven, a piano and a violin.  In any case, it is a very appealing oil on board that is nicely painted, and it packs lots of decorative punch.  The painting retains it's original hand-carved, hand-painted frame.  45" x 32"  American, c. 1940's  SOLD
