| item description: | A silver leaf surround sofa by James Mont, c. 1950. A mahogany brown, silk velvet sofa surrounded by a silver leaf frame with five balustrades. The upholstered sofa has a gently curved back and splayed arms, the balustrades are turned and support an upper shelf and a lower plinth that wraps around the newly upholstered sofa. Designing built-in furniture and space specific pieces with a subdued glitz was James Mont's forte.Since his furniture business began by designing hide-a-way bars for mobsters, his pieces often have an architectural feel and sometimes include hidden drawers or a place to exhibit one’s treasures. This piece typifies the presence each Mont piece holds: the grandeur and the glamour of a Hollywood star and the drama and the pretension of a bootlegging mobster.
