Vintage James Mont Chinoiserie Horseshoe Ming Armchair For Century Furniture

About the Item

One of the most famous figures in 20th-century American design was James Mont, who began working at a Brooklyn electrical supply house and somehow morphed into the go-to interior designer for the New York scene and Hollywood royalty. Mont’s history is a bit cloudy but they did come from a family of artists who lived in Turkey. Mont was discovered by a member of the Mafioso named Frankie Yale and thus the door opened for Mont to become the decorator for the mob. Mont’s furniture designs and this chair perfectly exemplify his ability to blend Deco, Hollywood Regency, and Modern into one-fold and are now classics. Our particular Mont armchair is old enough to have been painted three times and is now possibly ready for the fourth.

Antique French Shearling Upholstered Armchair Completely Restored Old School
Located in Chicago, IL
Antique French Shearling Upholstered Armchair Completely Restored using Old School methods, which simply means we do not use foam rubber for padding and actually tie the coil springs by hand, However, this Antique French Armchair is so old that there is not a straight line in sight for everything is a bit askew. I would prefer to simply describe it as cattywampus. Apparently the internet defines it as "something askew, out of line, or in disarray". None of this bothers us and it comes with the territory of purchasing 200-year old French Armchairs, so we're used to it. Our French Antique Armchair was completely rebuilt from the frame up and is rock solid. The covering is genuine Sheep Shearling and we now typically stock several Antique chairs covered...
