About the Item

This clever chest, with its strap-like metal ornamentation (in the manner of Jacques Adnet) opens to reveal a small bar within. With a career spanning many of 20th century's formative aesthetic movements, Adnet cuts a distinctive figure in the history of design. He strove to create beautiful pieces, which were nevertheless suited to everyday life. With his intriguing use of unusual materials, Adnet transcended the Art Deco tradition which nurtured him. Today, he is remembered for his elegant shapes and luxurious materials. For an illustration of a similar, smaller chest by Adnet, see Foucart, Bruno, and Jean-Louis Gaillemin. Les Décorateurs des années 40. Paris: Editions Norma, 1998. 72.
