About the Item
This supremely rare early Modernist dressing table by Jacques Adnet, with its novel use of clear and opaline glass, and nickel-plated and painted metal, shows the avant-garde design and radical materials which made Jacques adnet Desny such an extraordinary pioneer of design.
Eliminating wood entirely from the design for this dressing table puts Jacques Adnet in the company of a very select few interwar French avant-garde designers such as Djo-Bourgeois, Jean-Charles Moreaux and René Herbst.
Its form consists entirely of horizontal and vertical lines, balanced between the depth of the opaline glass and painted metal, and the luminosity of the clear glass, nickel-plated hardware and mirror, still bearing a plaque for high-end mirror manufacturers of the period, Miroir Brot.
Expertly constructed and far ahead of its time, this rare dressing table with mirror and light a beautiful piece of early Modernism.
