Rare Hollywood Regency 4-Door Black Lacquer Sideboard, Structural Brass Inserts (100+ Pieces), Mastercraft/ William Doezema Style, Circa 1970

Chairish

$12,200

Extremely rare piece of baseboard chinoiserie of 71 x 28h x 16 deep. An extraordinary find in the luxury furniture market, this 4-door sideboard is a "masterwork" example of Hollywood Regency craftsmanship. While standard high-end pieces of this era typically feature 40 to 60 pieces of hardware, this cabinet boasts an incredible 100+ front-side brass inserts, representing a massive investment in manufacturing labor and material density. Construction & Engineering: What truly distinguishes this piece is the sophisticated "sandwich" through-panel construction. Unlike standard surface-mounted ornaments, these brass inserts are structurally integrated and visible from the interior back of the panels. This rare assembly method is a hallmark of top-tier 1970s manufacturers and is a specific detail sought after by collectors of Mastercraft and the designs of William Doezema. Aesthetic & Finish: The sideboard features a deep, lustrous black lacquer finish (Factory Code: BLA) contrasted by parchment-style gold-leaf panels. The high hardware density creates a rhythmic, architectural "brass-wrap" effect that embodies the opulence of the mid-century elite. The internal factory codes (742 BLA 243) are consistent with the upper-echelon Asian-inspired runs produced by prestigious firms such as Henredon or Thomasville. Market Context: A direct style competitor to acid-etched Bernhard Rohne pieces and Maitland-Smith Chinoiserie, this sideboard’s scale and hardware complexity place it at the apex of the 1970s luxury market. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The lacquer remains vibrant, and all brass inserts are present and original. Dimensions: 71"W × 16"D × 28"H
