Trio of French Round Nesting Tables by Jacques Adnet, 1950s
A trio of French round nesting tables by Jacques Adnet dating back to the 1950s, crafted in patinated metal with understated brass detailing and inset glass tops. The graduated forms nest seamlessly beneath one another, creating an interplay of height and proportion. Each table is framed by slender, tapering legs and accented with Adnet’s signature brass ring motifs.
The circular glass surfaces lend lightness and transparency, allowing the metal framework to remain the focal point. Ideal as occasional tables, or as a layered side arrangement.
A single model of this same table by Jacques Adnet is documented in a 2015 Christie’s auction catalogue.
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.
