About the Item

French Modern Carved Gilt Silvered Wood Mirror, in the Style of James Mont France, Late 20th Century A substantial and visually arresting carved wood mirror reflecting the bold glamour of mid-century modern design, executed in France in the late 20th century. The frame features a continuous surround composed of pierced giltwood rosettes and sculptural elements, alternating with deeply carved silver-leaf relief panels. The interplay of gold and silver surfaces creates a dynamic, almost architectural rhythm that gives the mirror both visual weight and luminous presence. Remnants of an original French import label remain affixed to the reverse. The inset mirror plate measures 33.5 inches wide × 45.5 inches high, with an overall frame dimension of 47.5 inches wide × 58.5 inches high, making it a commanding focal point suitable for grand interior spaces, from entry halls to sophisticated dressing rooms. The stylistic language of this piece strongly evokes the work of James Mont (1904–1978)—the legendary designer and decorator celebrated for his fusion of Hollywood glamour, Asian ornamental motifs, and European classicism. Mont, often called the “bad boy of American décor,” rose to prominence in mid-century New York, designing opulent interiors for celebrities and powerful clients, including reputed mob figures. His furniture and decorative objects are distinguished by dramatic scale, lavish gilding, silvering, lacquer finishes, and exotic carved ornamentation. This mirror’s theatrical mix of gilt and silver surfaces, sculptural carved detailing, and bold proportions all speak to Mont’s unmistakable aesthetic influence. Though executed in France, it embodies the transatlantic appeal of Mont’s glamorous modernism—an ideal complement to Hollywood Regency, Art Deco Revival, or eclectic contemporary interiors.
