A striking set of four James Mont for Century Furniture black lacquer “Ming” stools, embodying the designer’s signature blend of Hollywood Regency glamour and Asian-inspired Chinoiserie aesthetics.
Each stool features a sculptural horseshoe-form back with a pierced splat, recalling traditional Chinese Ming dynasty seating forms, while the high-gloss black lacquered frame is accented with gilt metal-capped feet and stretcher details. The seats are upholstered in a vibrant red textile with stylized Asian motifs, providing a bold contrast to the lacquered structure and reinforcing the exotic elegance characteristic of Mont’s work.
Substantial and well-crafted, these stools offer both visual impact and functional comfort, with a generous bar-height seat and supportive curved back. Designs of this type exemplify Mont’s distinctive approach—melding mid-20th-century luxury with romanticized Eastern influences, a hallmark of his celebrated furniture.
