The cabinet features 4 doors and several adjustable glass shelves. The inside back of the cabinet has an antiqued glass that adds to the glamour of the piece. There is interior lighting.

We attempted to get a picture of the antique smoked glass back on the cabinet but we simply couldn't capture the look. Know that the mirrored back is not traditional mirror but rather an antiqued mirror.

The brass on the cabinet is in good condition and shows some patina consistent with the age of the piece.

Mastercraft Furniture was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1947 by brothers Charles and William Doezema. They aimed to create furniture with a cosmopolitan flair, specializing in chairs and case pieces that modernized traditional forms. Their signature style involved exotic wood veneers (like amboyna, yew, burl, and fruitwood) and distinctive brass trim.

In later years, Mastercraft also produced chairs and glass-topped coffee tables with brass frames, sometimes incorporating motifs like the Greek key. After being acquired by Baker Furniture in 1974, the company collaborated with German-born artist Bernhard Rohne, who designed case pieces featuring applied brass plaques with acid-etched, semi-abstract forms.

Mastercraft furnishings are known for making a bold yet artful statement, blending mid-century modern design with opulent detailing, and are still highly valued by collectors today. See less
