Craddock Mid Century Modern Walnut Hutch

Product details

Seller's Notes:Imagine stepping into a sun-drenched Southern California home in the summer of 1962—Mad Men glamour meets quiet family life, where a costume seamstress from MGM Studios and her commercial-artist husband curated every detail with the discerning eye of people who lived and breathed design. This exquisite Craddock Mid-Century Modern walnut hutch is one of those rare treasures they hand-selected during that golden era, a piece so special that my sister and I were strictly forbidden from playing anywhere near it growing up. Crafted from rich, book-matched walnut with clean Danish-inspired lines, tapered legs, and those signature Craddock dovetailed drawers, it stands today in near-mint condition—untouched by time, unmarred by children, and proudly displaying the original satin finish that still glows like the day it arrived. What makes this hutch truly exceptional is its incredibly rare upper cabinet configuration: the seldom-seen top section with sliding glass doors and adjustable shelves that Craddock produced in extremely limited numbers before discontinuing the design. Most Craddock hutches you’ll ever encounter are the standard open-base models; this is one of the elusive few that survived with the full, factory-original top—an absolute unicorn for collectors of California mid-century furniture. Lovingly preserved for over six decades in the very home my parents filled with their impeccable taste, this piece isn’t just furniture—it’s a time capsule of post-war optimism, Hollywood-adjacent creativity, and the quiet elegance of a frugal yet stylish life. Now, with both of my parents gone, it’s time for this remarkable Craddock hutch to bring its warmth, history, and rarity to another home that will cherish it for the next generation. Opportunities like this simply do not come along often.
