Set of Eight Mid-Century Mastercraft Brass Dining Chairs with Tufted Upholstery
About the Item
A stunning set of eight mid-century brass Mastercraft dining chairs. These chairs feature antiqued brass frames with arms and gorgeous tufted velvet upholstery. The chairs have their original upholstery which seems to be a shade of bronze (perhaps some taupe) and is excellent original condition. These chairs have a very sexy Hollywood glamour vibe.
These chairs were clearly lovingly cared for and rarely used. They highlight the best of glitzy Mid-Century Modern design. They are best described as Hollywood Regency. They are of superb Mastercraft quality and construction. They have wide seats and comfortable arms - making them extraordinarily comfortable. The perfect chairs for a long leisurely dinner party. A breath-taking set.
Designers can take months sourcing one or 2 chairs at a time trying to build a sizable set, but there's always the issue of varying levels of patina to the brass. This single set features consistent patina and all of the chairs are in very good condition. It's very hard to find a set this large in such superb condition.

Mastercraft
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.
