French Iron Leather Motif Wall Mirror in the Manner of Jacques Adnet, 1960s
A French wall mirror from the 1960s, created in the manner of Jacques Adnet.
Framed in iron, the mirror is crafted to resemble meticulously stitched leather straps, an illusion that pays homage to Adnet’s celebrated use of saddle leather while translating the motif into metal. Every line and rivet is carefully considered, giving the frame the appearance of hand-worked leather despite its solid iron construction. The arched silhouette softens the geometry, while a central circular ring introduces a subtle architectural accent that balances the composition.
The result is a piece that feels both decorative and disciplined—combining the strength of iron with the warmth and familiarity of traditional leather craftsmanship.
Jacques Adnet (1900–1984) was a master of modern design, acclaimed for his deft handling of materials and elegant invention over a six-decade career. Trained at the École des Arts Décoratifs under architect Charles Louis Genuys, Adnet gained early recognition for seamlessly merging medium and form, employing glass, parchment-covered wood, and metals in works that moved fluidly from the Art Deco spirit into a timeless modern idiom.
Appointed director of La Compagnie des Arts Français in 1927, he steered the firm into the vanguard of French design, collaborating with luminaries such as Charlotte Perriand and René Herbst while elevating interiors with a rigor both classical and forward-looking. His collaborations with Jacques Lenoble introduced fine ceramic mosaics into furniture design, transforming utilitarian forms into richly material statements.
