William Doezema for Mastercraft Two-Door Cabinet in Brass and Burl Wood

Creator: Mastercraft -William Doezema
Offered by: Appleton

Description
This exceptional two-door cabinet, designed by William Doezema for Mastercraft, exemplifies the sophisticated elegance that defined the Grand Rapids–based company in the mid-20th century. As co-founder and lead designer, Doezema shaped Mastercraft’s identity by merging refined American modernism with luxurious European influences, producing furniture that remains highly collectible today.

The cabinet showcases a striking combination of richly figured burl wood set within a streamlined form, accented by polished brass trim. The warm patina of the brass frames the doors and edges, imparting both structure and understated glamour. Two front doors open to reveal a spacious interior with adjustable shelving, making it equally functional as a sideboard, bar cabinet, or media console.

Doezema’s vision for Mastercraft was rooted in uncompromising craftsmanship, evident in the precision of the brass inlay and the depth of the wood veneer. This piece embodies his pursuit of timeless design, with proportions that balance boldness and restraint. Its versatility allows it to integrate seamlessly into interiors ranging from mid-century modern to Hollywood Regency and contemporary spaces.

A distinguished example of Doezema’s work for Mastercraft, this cabinet is both a statement of luxury and a functional addition to any collection.
