James Mont (1904-1978)

James Mont was a man shroud in mystery, one whose life details were often sketchy. Presumably, he was born Demetrios Pecintoglu in Istanbul in 1904, he may have studied art and architecture in France and Spain and moved with his family to the United States in the early 1920s. From the early 1930s and into the 1960s, Mont was one of the most prominent designers and decorators on the East Coast. His forte was creating furniture that offered a stylish and dramatic, yet modern, take on historical forms and details—most of his designs drew on Asian influences, though he often employed classical elements in his pieces.
