Magazine holder with a horse-shoe handle in brass. Tray. French work in

This magazine rack features a varnished wooden tray with rounded edges, topped with a brass handle shaped like a horseshoe, accented with decorative nails. Beneath the tray, two soft black leather compartments highlighted with light stitching hold magazines and newspapers. The brass structure, with partially twisted uprights, rests on curved feet with scrolls. The horseshoe handle and the stitched leather refer to the equestrian world cherished by 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 piece fully reflects his taste. Condition report: Overall good condition. Brass with a beautiful patina, uniform varnished wooden tray, soft leather compartments showing slight signs of use, intact stitching. A charming living room accessory, perfect next to an armchair or sofa.
