Compared to that other furniture-makers in historically minded Grand Rapids, Michigan, the work of Mastercraft seems positively flamboyant. The company was founded in 1947 by brothers Charles and William Doezema, who hailed from a long line of cabinetmakers. They went overseas during their service in World War II, and returned home with a plan to make furniture with cosmopolitan flair. Their firm specialized in chairs and case pieces that have modernized traditional forms, finished in exotic wood veneers such as amboyna, yew, burl and fruitwood, and trimmed in brass. Bureaus and credenzas often feature cabinet fronts with decorative brass details such as silhouettes of flowers and birds, or figures that resemble Chinese characters.
In later years, Mastercraft created chairs and glass-topped coffee tables with brass frames. Some pieces included touches like the Greek key — a motif that appears in the decorative arts of both Asian and European antiquity. After Mastercraft was acquired by industry giant Baker Furniture in 1974, the company produced a large group of case pieces featuring applied brass plaques, acid-etched with semi-abstract forms by the German-born, Vancouver-based artist Bernhard Rohne.
The latter are some of the most popular Mastercraft pieces, and like all the company’s wares range in price from about $2,000 to $12,000 depending on size, condition and the amount of decorative trim. As you will see on 1stDibs, Mastercraft furnishings made a bold but artful statement — perfect for lending a bit of dash and brawn to a contemporary decor.

Mastercraft Brass and Glass Ming Coffee Table c. 1970s
By Mastercraft
Located in Saint Louis, MO
Ming tables have adorned royalty for dynasties and with this brass 1970s Ming coffee table by Mastercraft you can see why. Wide brass Asian Ming legs curve out and away from the coffee table with a sense of optimism and prosperity. They anchor the chic coffee and gently glow. Scrolled feet finish and accentuate the flowing legs. See photo 2 to really grasp how this table glows and incorporates surrounding pieces in its brass reflections. Thick tempered beveled glass with cut corners to highlight those forward arching legs. Glass sits atop a split brass square base. The lower table base section angles in purposeful symmetry with the tables legs for uninterrupted lines and reflections. A table fit for royalty dressed in modern couture.
