Description
French midcentury handstitched leather cabinet, dresser, commode, chest of drawers by Jacques Adnet, circa 1950.
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 handstitched leather drawers and side supports. In all, it is the perfect balance between the Modern and the Neoclassical.
