Smoked mirror coffee table by James Mont. Deeply smoked mirror shows wonderful ageing, black lacquered frame, classic Asian modern styling. Contains two hidden compartments underneath, an often requested feature from some of Mont's more notorious clientele.
A silver leaf and glass coffee table by James Mont, c. 1950. The table is silver leaf over underlays of lavender and black and features a platform base and two plinth supports. Each support is cut to accommodate a thick glass slab that slides through the two plinths to create a dramatic top to the table. Each side panel is decorated on both sides with 19th century carved Chinese elements in naturalistic forms: the interior sides with a flower bouquet, and the exterior sides with birds on branches. Mont gilded and antiqued the appliqués then set them in a carved frame. James Mont hired the finest craftsmen for his 5-story workshop on 57th Street in New York City where each floor was dedicated to a specific construction or finishing process. Mont perfected his labor-intensive gilding process while jailed at the infamous Sing Sing prison and thus dedicated an entire floor to this lengthy process. Base coats in various colors were layered under the meticulously applied silver or gold leaf to add a hint of color. Lastly, several layers of lacquer were applied (sometimes upwards of twenty layers); he used clear lacquer but also favored his smoked lacquer technique. This coffee table exemplifies the craftsmanship and detailing Mont adamantly required in his furniture.

Burr walnut coffee table by Johannes Itten/Bauhaus

Circa 1930's

Wood > Burlwood
item description :
A Burr walnut coffee table by Johannes Itten
German, c 1930
“Itten’s photograph from 1920 portrays a man who appears to be disciplined, serious and determined. His unusual appearance might be puzzling: the shaved head of a priest, the self designed robes. But it all fits into the picture of this early master at the Bauhaus.Itten joined it in October 1919 teaching the preliminary course. His focus lay in the study of objects and materials, analysis of Old Masters and life drawing. He was aware of the newly established educational reform theory and was familiar with the artists of avant-garde. In more practical terms this meant that he wanted his students to find their inner being and develop a well tuned personality. He started his class with breathing exercises and gymnastics and let his students decide whose work was the best. People either admired him or hated him profoundly.Nontheless he was quite rightly described as the backbone of the Bauhaus. His ‘Vorkus’, the preliminary course, was continued in a very similar style even after he left the institution. It is said that it was his passion for the development of the individual which eventually led to a fall out with Walter Gropius, the director of the Bauhaus. The latter was of the opinion that commercial work was essential to keep the school individualism. Itten eventually founded his own school in Berlin in 1926, known later as the Itten School.”
A Rare coffee table designed by Johannes Itten, c. 1930. Shortly after leaving the Bauhaus in 1922 as a professor of the preliminary course, Itten formed his own school in Berlin and it was during this period he designed these for his own home.A simple design that shows off the beauty of the wood in its surface.
