1950's Stitched leather desk by Jacques Adnet

Creator: Jacques Adnet
Offered by: L'Original Gallery

Description
A Rare French Midcentury Modern hand stitched leather desk 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.

L'Original Gallery opened as Regis Royant Gallery in 1995, and was first dedicated to french art deco. Now we specialised in 1960’s and 1970’s decorative art. We also work with several contemporary artists and additionally we create our own designs. Most of our pieces are made in very small editions or are one of a kind. The artists featured in our gallery are from France, Belgium and Italy. We also work with many interior designers for whom we create special orders.
