{"product_id":"9780615179964","title":"James Mont","description":"The first book devoted to James Mont, the important and uniquely American Mid-Century interior and furniture designer. 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.","brand":"Todd Merrill \u0026 Associates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50088267710704,"sku":"9780615179964","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615179964","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
