Black Quilted Leather Table Lamp and Golden Brass. French Craftsmanship.

This table lamp features a fluted cylindrical base in gilded brass, widening into a flared, ribbed design at its base, resting on a circular base entirely covered in black leather with saddle stitching. The drum shade, also covered in black leather highlighted with light topstitching along the edges, reveals a gilded interior that warms the light. The combination of saddle-stitched leather and gilded brass is the signature of Jacques Adnet, a major figure in French decor of the 1950s, who elevated leather covering to the status of decorative art, particularly in his collaborations with Hermès; this lamp fully embodies his taste. Condition report: Good overall condition. Black leather with a beautiful patina from use, intact topstitching, homogeneous gilded brass. A masculine and refined lamp, ideal for a desk or a library side table.
