Maison Jansen:
Founded by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen in 1880, Maison Jansen became one of the world’s most celebrated interior design firms. Blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary influences, the firm catered to an elite clientele that included royalty, heads of state, and cultural icons. Notable commissions included interiors for the Duchess of Windsor, the Shah of Iran, the King of Egypt, and the Rockefeller family, as well as the U.S. Embassy in Paris and numerous European embassies.

Maison Jansen also left its mark on some of the most prestigious hotels of the 20th century, including the Ritz in Paris, the Plaza in New York, and the Beverly Hills Hotel. Its reputation for glamour and sophistication endures, with Guy LeFèvre’s designs standing as some of its most recognisable contributions to modern decorative arts.

 The brushed steel frame with original inset glass, rectangular in plan, resting on a curved X-form stretcher, is animated at each corner by a cast brass swan neck. The head curving downward with the characteristic grace of the Empire motif. At the base of each leg, a cast brass webbed foot.
Minimal, age related colouration to the steel as shown.
