Mont's clientele included Hollywood celebrities such as Bob Hope and Irving Berlin, as well as east coast mobsters like Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello. His Charlie Chan meets Rita Hayworth aesthetic- modernizing chinoiserie inspired elements- is as aesthetically compelling as it is timeless. The tables feature pedestal bases, with fluted columns and silver leaf acanthus details along the four corners of the base. Tables have square tops with subtly concave lines, and an opaque vitrolite top. They are in mint restored condition. American, Circa 1945 less
