This table does not have a Mastercraft label, instead it was made for and marketed by a high-end Chicago area furniture company - Richard Honquist (so it has a Honquist label on the underside of the table). We have the matching Mastercraft buffet (also with a Honquist label) in a separate listing. If you are interested in both, reach out for an additional discount.

Compared to that other furniture-makers of their time, Mastercraft's works seemed positively flamboyant. The company was founded in 1947 by brothers Charles and William Doezema. The firm specialized in pieces that had more modern forms, often finished in exotic wood veneers and trimmed in brass.
