Made in America in the 1940's or 1950's this Dresser is a mixture of Art Deco , Asian design and Greek motive very much in the taste of Mont .I found a lot of reference online pointing to JamesMont .The shagreen lining indicate a good provenance , it is already modern but with art deco touch with its cubist design on the doors and the brass hardware .The design is unusual by its high quality compared to most of the mass produced furniture of this era .I found it in Hollywood ,California which was a center of creation in 1940's and 1950's for the movie industry. This sideboard has a live in feel contrary to some of the mid-century piece mass produced without any trace of age or life . Instead of a soullessness typical of some of the design of this era this piece has originality and warmth .The wood is ebonized not painted.
