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/
