"Pair Of Modernist Andirons Attributed To Adnet"
These firedogs, emblematic of mid-20th-century French design, illustrate the boldness and functional elegance dear to Jacques Adnet (1900–1984), a major figure in the Modernist movement and craftsman of furniture combining luxury and minimalism. Attributed to his workshop, they are distinguished by clean lines, a geometric structure, and wrought ironwork that reflect his innovative approach to industrial design. Their angular, curved silhouette, playing on the contrasts between solids and voids, are typical of Adnet's Modernist aesthetic.
