The Mastercraft Furniture Company was one of the premier American luxury cabinetmakers of the 20th century, known for blending traditional craftsmanship with high-end Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency styles. Mastercraft specialized in rich, highly figured woods — most notably Carpathian Elm burl, Amboyna burl, zebrawood, and walnut. Heavily incorporated polished, patinated, and cast solid brass into their designs. Signature details included heavy brass hardware, brass-trimmed base plinths, and Asian-inspired key or starburst motifs. Today, vintage Mastercraft furniture from the 1960s and 1970s are highly prized by interior designers and mid-century collectors for their quality construction and glamour. See less
