Jacques Adnet rare mid-century modernist table mirror 1950

An icon of French modernism, Jacques Adnet was best known for his Art Deco modernist designs and his partnership with Hermès. He was one of the first to integrate leather, metal and glass in the structure and decoration of furniture. His style is the epitome of luxury and his legacy of fine design feels modern even today. Both the Adnet Circulaire and Rectangulaire were designed in the 1950s after Adnet's partnership with Hermès and both mirrors are produced in Italian full-grain leather with unique brass details. Manufactured by Gubi. Full grain aniline leather, mirror glass, burnished brass rivets. A rare mid-century table mirror in the distinctive style of Jacques Adnet, combining a wooden frame wrapped in natural rope with a hand-stitched leather base. Its sculptural silhouette, tactile materials and artisanal character make it an exceptional decorative object for collectors and design enthusiasts. This mirror brings together natural materials, craftsmanship and French modernist design in one highly decorative object. The combination of rope, wood and leather creates warmth and texture, while the sculptural form gives the mirror a strong presence without overwhelming the interior. It works beautifully as both a functional mirror and a distinctive design statement. The mirror is described as being closely related to the work of Jacques Adnet and reflects design characteristics associated with his 1950s aesthetic. The exact type of rope is not confirmed and may be jute, hemp or sisal. The hand-stitched leather detailing contributes to its authentic vintage character. As with any vintage handcrafted object, variations and signs of age may be present and should be regarded as part of its unique character.
