Description

This stunning and quintessentially Mid-Century Modern sideboard/ dry bar was designed by the illustrious American designer James Mont circa 1950. Mont was renowned for assimilating elements of classical, orientalist, and Art Deco design into a modern sensibility, using the most luxuriant materials available- a style he termed "Chinese Modern." This piece is a stunning testament to his practice. It offers a pagoda style body with asian inspired gilded pulls; two doors on either side opening to reveal a shelf in each; and a center door that opens to reveal three tiers, the two lower have circular cut outs designed for holding glassware. Mont's pieces filled the interiors of the "who's who" in Mid Century America- from East Coast mafiosos to Hollywood's elite. This iconic and dramatic piece exemplifies the qualities that collectors treasure in Mont's practice. This rare item, by one of the most iconic figures in Mid Century Modern furniture, represents an incredible find for any true collector of the period. It is also a great statement piece for any interior space where sophisticated decadence is paramount. The piece is signed "James Mont Design" and is in Mint restored condition.
