He established his reputation in America for creating custom clandestine bars during prohibition for Hollywood stars and East Coast mobsters. By the mid-thirties he had a thriving design business based in New York City. His aesthetic was defined by combining post-Deco glamour with Oriental accents such as exotic finishes, smoked mirrors, and an abundance of silver and gilt. His characteristic designs often refashioned Asian motives, a transformation Mont described as \"Chinese Modern\". It was very common for one of his creations to have more than a dozen layers of lacquer and\/or gold leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Todd Merrill \u0026 Associates","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584829276311,"sku":"9780615179964","price":4185.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780615179964.webp?v=1774958040","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/james-mont-the-king-cole-penthouse-9780615179964","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
