Showmanship and fantasy were hallmarks of legendary American badboy designer James Mont, the Godfather of Exotic Modernism. He caused a scandal in the late 1940's. If you're planning a little scandal of your own, we've got just the piece for you. Inspired by an original design by James Mont, circa 1942, this grand cabinet is a work of art. With faceted doors and a unique tapered shape, it is well suited to work in the midst of any interior setting. It is crafted of Cherry solids and veneers. The cabinet features block-style feet with an open center. The interior houses a fixed shelf. Adorning the doors are hand-forged ring pulls. Painted accents included. Gilt accents available at an additional charge.

Truex by Scott Himmel for Karges - In the early 1930's, a young American from the middle west attended the Paris branch of The Parsons School of Design. He stayed on to become an instructor and ultimately director. His name: Van Day Truex. At the onset of World War II, Truex moved to New York and became president of Parsons, recruiting the greatest interior decorators of the day as both teachers and guest critics. From 1947-1960, New York was the world capital of the decorative arts and at it's center was The Parsons School and Truex who believed the rooms we live in should be nothing less than a celebration of the lives we lead. It is our mission to bring back the best of this era to contemporary interiors as a special collection within Karges by Hand. The name is in honor of Truex, inspiration comes not solely from Van, but from those he inspired as his era continues to inspire us. "There's a difference between existing and living." -Van Day Truex
