Ernest F. Hagen (1830-1913) was one of America's most significant cabinetmakers of the nineteenth century. He was also a highly respected authority on Duncan Phyfe and his furniture.

Born in Germany, Hagen learned and practiced his trade in New York City. He worked in partnership with J. Matthew Meier from 1858 to 1888 under the name "Meier & Hagen." The focus of Hagen's business grew from furniture making to dealing in antiques. His sons Frederick (1866-1948) and Henry (1877-1927) took over the business in about 1905.
