Two Piece Hutch Appraisal

Vintage Early American Style Two-Piece China Hutch

This is a two-piece pine or maple wood china hutch, commonly referred to as a Welsh dresser or step-back cupboard, designed in the Early American or Colonial Revival style popular during the mid-to-late 20th century (circa 1960s-1970s). The upper section features a prominent crown molding and two large cabinet doors with decorative cathedral-style wooden fretwork over glass panes, house three internal shelves for display. The lower buffet base consists of three narrow drawers over three cabinet doors, which feature raised paneled detailing and teardrop or batwing-style metal hardware. The piece is finished in a warm honey-oak or amber stain. Structurally, the unit shows scalloped side supports connecting the top and bottom sections, providing a 'step-back' silhouette. While the image quality is low, there appears to be minor surface wear consistent with age, including small scuffs along the base and edges. The craftsmanship indicates a mass-produced consumer grade furniture piece, likely by a manufacturer such as Ethan Allen or Tell City, though no specific marks are visible. It stands approximately 72-78 inches tall and 48-54 inches wide.
