In the style of Jacques Adnet - Ashtray (2) - Glass, Leather

Set consisting of an imposing square vessel in thickly molded glass and its matching full-glass cigar pestle. Model attributed to Jacques Adnet (1900-1984), emblematic French designer of the 20th century, typical of his creations from the 1940s-1950s. Unsigned, but corresponds to models referenced in several specialized auctions. The glass body, weighing 1 kg, is an authentic Lumax block (made by Saint-Gobain), an iconic model from the French Reconstruction period, often associated with the architectural and decorative choices of Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand. The set is elevated by high-quality leatherwork: a wide removable brown leather strap with a natural patina envelops the glass, adorned with double grooves and saddle-stitched topstitching. The glass pestle, an original element that is almost always missing on these models, is itself equipped with its leather loop closed by a silvered metal collar button. A magnificent testament to French modernist design of the 1950s, in the spirit of Jacques Adnet’s creations or luxury collaborations (Hermès, Le Tanneur). Overall good condition, original leather patina, some signs of wear on the glass. Ideal as a prestige ashtray, desk catch-all, or collectible piece.
