Fabulous Pair of Chinoiserie Commodes w/ Chinese Character Handles, Mastercraft

Product Description

A Fabulous Pair of Chinoiserie Commodes with Chinese Character Handles, Mastercraft. Hollywood Cinema’s Golden Era remains one of the most prominent influences across contemporary art and culture worldwide. Born in California in the 1920s, the Hollywood Regency style emerged from interior design: opulent, bold, and playful. Characterized by decadent adornment and palatial magnificence, Hollywood Regency furniture informed domestic design for generations. This set of gilt brass mid-century modern chest of drawers manufactured by the Mastercraft Furniture Company exemplifies the grandeur of Hollywood’s golden years and its lasting impact on art.
This pair of dressers is fashioned with three drawers for storage each. The drawer handles are formed into Chinese characters that signify the four dynasties, inside of which are lined with cedar. Strictly rectangular with strong bold lines, the dresser features both garishness and practicality—the deep gold color combines with the dresser’s form in a chic combination of luxury and utility. Descending from a long line of cabinet makers, the Doezema brothers returned from World War II and founded the Mastercraft Furniture Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1947. They set out to design sleek furniture with sophisticated industrialist elements. The company is known for their high-quality workmanship and high-value materials for products, increasing the value, quality, and workmanship of its furniture. With detail in both material and form, Mastercraft was committed to providing both aesthetic and practical quality in their furniture. After nearly 30 years in business, the brothers established a legacy of synthesizing traditional and vogue styles to create unique work characteristic of the post-war period.
