Black Leather Quilted Magazine Holder with Brass Loop Handle. Work

This magazine rack features a quadrangular brass structure on which two curved sides made of wide black leather straps stitched with light thread unfold, forming a soft basket to hold newspapers and magazines. The leather handle closes with a brass belt buckle, a nod to the vocabulary of saddlery. The saddle-stitched leather combined with brass is the signature of Jacques Adnet, a renowned French decorator who made leather upholstery with stitching one of the major elegances of the 1950s; this magazine rack stylistically connects the piece to this highly sought-after repertoire. Condition report: Good overall condition. Soft leather with a beautiful deep black patina, healthy stitching, brass with a uniform golden patina. A characterful accessory, perfect to place near a sofa, a club chair, or in an office.
