A refined French Modern arched tabletop mirror, clad in warm brown leather with visible saddle stitching, evoking the timeless luxury of mid-century French design. The mirror is supported on a hinged easel back, allowing for use on a desk, dressing table, or console, and its architectural arch recalls the classical elegance of arched windows and doorways.

The meticulous leather wrapping and saddle-stitched seams are a hallmark of French luxury design houses of the 20th century, directly recalling the celebrated work of Jacques Adnet (1900–1984), who famously collaborated with Hermès and pioneered the use of stitched leather in modernist furniture and accessories during the 1940s and 1950s. This mirror continues that tradition, bringing a tactile warmth and understated sophistication to modern interiors.

Dimensions: 9.5 in. wide × 11.5 in. high × 7 in. deep (with stand extended). Mirror plate: 6.5 in. wide × 8.5 in. high.

Design Influences & Context: The piece demonstrates the enduring appeal of Adnet’s aesthetic — the blending of fine leather craftsmanship with streamlined geometry. While produced later (circa 1980–2000), its stylistic language is firmly rooted in the French Modernist canon, making it a versatile accessory for both contemporary and classic settings.

Condition: Excellent overall, with only minor surface wear consistent with age and use. See less
