Built in Cherry Hutch – Mission/Arts n Craft
The objective for this project was to design, construct, and install a built-in dining room hutch that was more “furniture-like”, and in the Arts and Crafts/Mission style. It would have to seamlessly fit into my client’s elegantly appointed, early 1900’s home, and proudly serve a beautiful Stickley dining room table.

mullions, antique glass, and mission style hardware add to the projects appeal................

Several Stickley furniture details are incorporated into this piece. The legs are cut from a select board of solid cherry, and mitered together vertically. This creates an appealing grain pattern that "wraps" around the faces of each leg. Although non- structural, these solid looking legs, about 2.5 inches square, are "applied" to each side of the lower cabinet.........
Where the lower cabinet's face frame meets the upper and lower part of each leg, a square peg detail is inlayed (made from West Indian rosewood) and mimics traditional mortise and tenon, pinned joinery............................

Rather than concealed euro hinges, more traditional , non-mortise hinges with an antique brass finish are used.

Thats very nice work we dont really use the term mission furniture in england so not sure of the difference between that and arts and crafts or is it a cross over thing? The hardware is well suited to the piece is it custom made or off the shelf
Nice loooking hutch- is the case solid or sheet stock?
Thanks! The cases (upper, lower, and wine cubbies) are cherry veneer ply, the doors, legs, face frames, apron, trim, etc. are solid cherry.
