Rare French Handstitched Leather and Brass Faux Bamboo Commode by Jacques Adnet

Creator: Jacques Adnet
Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
A Rare French Midcentury Modern hand stitched leather cabinet, dresser, commode, chest of drawers by Jacques Adnet, circa 1955. Adnet had a rare talent for creating works that had used exquisite form and lines with rich materials. The entire composition is subtly balanced with muted black leather and burnished brass coloration. The piece features brass faux bamboo legs, solid brass hardware, solid brass inset flush mounted drawer pulls and back plates and brass corner moldings. The piece is entirely covered in black leather and has hand-stitched leather drawers and side supports. In all, it creates the perfect balance between the Modern and the Neoclassical.

Literature: See Jacques Adnet, Alain-René Hardy and Gaëlle Millet, Paris, 2014.
