Stitched leather table lamp by Jacques Adnet, France, 1950s

This table lamp was designed by the French modernist Jacques Adnet in the 1950s. The tubular stem, circular base, and conical shade are covered in brown leather with visible stitching over a metal structure, reflecting Adnet's functional approach that combined pure lines with noble materials in mid-century French design. The piece shows breaks, material loss, and fraying in the stitching at the top of the leather shade and at the junction with the neck of the stem. Its proportions are suitable for a desk, console, or side table in Mid-Century Modern interiors. The curved arm directs the light downward, balancing architectural geometry with the craftsmanship of leatherwork.
