In very good condition Art Deco / Neo-Classical, France, 1940s / 1950s. By Maison Jansen. La Maison Jansen, founded in 1880 by Jean-Henri Jansen, is a French interior design house characterized both by a strong interest in traditional furnishings and by the creation of more contemporary pieces. La Maison has worked for many institutions and personalities such as The White House under J. F. Kennedy, English Royalty (Elizabeth II, Edward VII, Edward VIII), Spanish, Belgian and Saudi Arabia, Prince Aga Khan, Coco Chanel, Pierre Cardin, the Maison Rothschild, Brigitte Bardot, the Opéra Garnier, etc. When it was founded, Jansen only resold existing furniture. It was in the early 1940s that the House opened its own workshops. In 1971, she joined the Leleu-Deshays house. But gradually Maison Jansen was no longer able to adapt to societal changes and changing tastes. She lost her clientele and closed in 1989. However, her creations are still very present on the international market and in auction rooms.

Maison Jansen

The Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen (1854–1928) was only in his mid-20s when he set up his Parisian design business in 1880. By the time he died, Maison Jansen had become the world’s first international decorating firm. Today, it is still regarded as one of the most notable firms and period furniture manufacturers in history, with its vintage floor lamps, tables, dressers and other furnishings remaining in demand.

Maison Jansen initially came to international prominence in 1883 when the young Jean-Henri Jansen traveled to Amsterdam to participate in the International Colonial Exposition, an event that featured presentations by 28 different nations and was attended by over a million visitors. There he exhibited as part of the French pavilion and won the silver medal. This led to two prominent new clients: King William III of the Netherlands and King Alfonso XII of Spain. Next was King Leopold II of Belgium for the interiors of the Château du Laeken, as well as commissions for Egypt’s King Farouk and Great Britain’s King Edward VII. Thanks to his participation in global expositions and fairs, Jansen expanded the renown of the firm so that its studios would reign in such major cities as London, New York, Buenos Aires, Cairo and many more.

Jansen was not only sought after for his taste but also for his custom period-inspired pieces. For example, in the Count and Countess de Revilla de Camargo’s Havana mansion, Jansen designed Louis XV–style furniture crafted from Cuban mahogany, enhancing Maison Jansen’s reputation as an expert maker. His custom furniture business was so successful that by 1900 he had opened his own atelier and employed around 700 artisans. In the 1960s, the firm, then led by Stéphane Boudin, worked with Jacqueline Kennedy on the refurbishment of rooms in the White House, including such spaces as the Queens’ Sitting Room, which featured bright blue fabric and neoclassical details.

Maison Jansen continued to produce furniture designs through the 20th century, responding to shifting tastes from Art Nouveau to Modern Regency. The atelier and studio officially closed its doors in 1989.
