Value of an Ethan Allen Hutch Cabinet
The value of an Ethan Allen Hutch Cabinet lies in the overall condition, style and of course, the wood. As mentioned, this hutch was crafted out of solid maple, an American hardwood.

While many young people today may not be aware, New England hardwoods helped capitalize a giant furniture industry in the Northern states in the 19th and 20th centuries. Of course, because of the cold weather, trees in the Northern climate grow slowly. A cross section of a New England tree shows tight rings and therefore dense wood.

These dense woods made very heavy and durable furniture.

Ethan Allen started in Vermont, so we can expect that the forests of maple trees likely came from that region.

Ethan Allen Baumritter Furniture
Firstly, Ethan Allen Baumritter Furniture, which was a line of furniture that this hutch also belonged to, was maple and typically followed Early American Style. Of course, Ethan Allen, like many fine furniture companies, studied the masters of antique furniture to produce a reproduction line like Baumritter in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

During these decades, American Colonial revival pieces became quite popular in upper middle-class America. This classic glass door hutch likely took its cues from early hutches from the early days of our country. It had some simple bracket feet and some scroll work on the side that may have borrowed from Pennsylvania Dutch or other New England Furniture design.
