USA, 1950s
Lacquered wood
Designed by James Mont, this rare vintage low table an elegant sculptural piece that reflects his fascination with Eastern heritage. Crafted in black lacquered wood, its soft, rounded volumes evoke the refined display stands traditionally used for vases and bonsai. Reminiscent of a flower’s corolla, the tabletop is adorned with gilded decorative motifs and ideograms, introducing a refined layer of ornamentation that shimmers against the deep black surface. With its harmonious proportions and sculptural presence, the table exemplifies Mont’s ability to combine organic forms, decorative detail, and visual poetry in his furniture design.
