French Art Deco Illuminated Vanity Mirror by Jacques Adnet
French Art Deco Illuminated Vanity Mirror by Jacques Adnet
An extraordinary French Art Deco illuminated triptych vanity mirror by Jacques Adnet, designed for the Miroir Brothers circa 1930. This striking piece combines functional design with sculptural elegance, featuring three beveled mirrors that fold open to create a dramatic three-way reflection. A chrome light shield crowns the composition, while the base of thick glass and mirrored panels provides both weight and luminosity, giving the impression that the entire piece floats.
The central mirror is supported by a concealed metal back, ensuring stability for daily use while preserving the sleek modernist lines. When illuminated, the mirror radiates a warm, glamorous glow, evoking the sophistication of Parisian interiors of the 1930s. The design perfectly reflects Adnet’s mastery of refined proportions and innovative materials, making this an iconic and highly collectible vanity that blends beauty with functionality.
Heavy and substantial in construction, this illuminated vanity is as much a work of design as it is a personal luxury object. The mirrored base and chrome details capture the light with subtle drama, offering not only a practical dressing mirror but also an architectural statement piece worthy of display in the most discerning collection.
It is rare to find such a rare piece by Jacques Adnet in such great original condition.
