Circa 1970 H 78 cm W 50 cm D 50 cm Jansen, the French luxury Opulence, refinement, audacity of style marriages… so many words agree with Maison Jansen. Through this name, a whole era sounds like a reminder of a certain French chic… Some names evoke immutable images, atmospheres... Like Jansen, for example. Let’s close our eyes… The 1960s and 1970s are at their peak. France is doing well. It is a country of full employment where everything seems possible. Within the international Jet Set, a carefree crowd of movie stars, public figures, literary idols and crowned heads, we love the Maison Jansen, its taste for styles struck with a good quality exuberance, and its brilliant side. It all began in 1880, when the Dutchman Jean Henri Jansen founded the epon-ymous house in Paris. Jansen is part of the continuity of these world-famous furniture manufacturers and companies that operated under the Second Empire and at the time of the Universal Exhibitions, as the ‘Escalier de Cristal’ teaches. At that time, the Union Centrale des Beaux-Arts appliqués à l'Indus-trie and the Société du musée des Arts Décoratifs merged to form the Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs. Supported by both gallery owners, collectors and manufacturers, this organi-zation gives the «la» to the whole profession, and in the prevailing politico-ideological slump (France was defeated by Prussia in 1871 and Napoleon III is in exile), the ‘Union Centrale des Art Décoratifs’ focuses production on the celebration of past styles. While this nostalgia evokes memories of an era that we imagine more stable, an innovative exoticism will be all the rage: the reign of Turkish style and Japonisme. The Jansen house masterfully rushed into the «exotic» trend, but quickly de-veloped a style derived from the ornamental splendor of the eighteenth, then a little later, so-called «imperial» styles mainly intended for royal families. Af-ter the First World War, J.H Jansen was joined by the cartoonist Albert Cazes, by Stéphane Boudin and by Pierre Delbée, who successively directed the house when it disappeared in 1929. At the end of the Kennedy era, Boudin complete-ly redecorated the White House, at the request of the First Lady, Jackie, who had fallen in love with his work after discovering it at Malmaison. In 1971, Jansen joined forces with Leleu-Deshays and continued its quest for excellence. From 1969 to 1979, the dandy decorator Serge Robin took the reins of the house, granting it an eclectic and luxurious style: he revisited the great eras of French art, from the Renaissance to Louis XVI, by modernizing them with more contemporary pieces in Plexiglas or wrought iron. His recomposed and sophisticated style met with resounding success. When Jackie Kennedy, who became the wife of the great Greek shipowner Aristotle Onassis, moved to France, the young architect married Louis XVI-style furniture to modernist designs from the 1950s. When the Shah of Iran decided to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Per-sian Empire in 1971, Serge Robin and his teams turned to the grandiose and ephemeral setting of Persepolis. A hundred semi-trailers then left the work-shops on Rue Saint-Sabin to reach Tehran. At the same time, Princess Soraya of Iran commissioned her a sumptuous palace for Avenue Montaigne, the princes Faisal bin Fahd of Arabia and Mubarak Al-Sabah, and the Agnelli snatched it. On the French side, he puts his talent at the service of Brigitte Bardot, for whom he completely revamped the Madrague and the Lannes boulevard. Serge Robin embodies all the audacity of the name Jansen with the most im-probable weddings. With him, Plexiglas tables, Japanese chairs from the 50s, gold thread curtains, zebra sofas...

A pair of lamps designed by Stuart Ross James (1912-1997) for Hansen. Very handsome and elegant pair of table lamps from the American midcentury period circa 1960. Those table side lamps has been designed by Stuart Ross James for the Hansen Lighting Co. They are carefully crafted in solid patinated bronze with gorgeous verdigris finish. Made with a squared base and fluted curved body and mounted in black wood platforms. The measurements of the main body (the fluted base) for each lamp are, 20 by 7.25 by 7.25 inches (50.8 x 18.4 x 18 .4 Cm). Stewart Ross James was born in 1912 in Toronto and moved to the US in his early teens; he attended high-school in Birmingham, Alabama. He wrote in his yearbook that his life's ambition was "to be a success in the field of Interior Decoration." By 1940, he was living in New York City and working as an interior designer on Park Avenue. He later moved to Winchester, New Hampshire, where he continued design work, collaborating with the New York architectural firm of O'Connor & Killham on projects for Kenyon College in Ohio, the Phoenix Insurance Company in Hartford, Connecticut, and for Princeton University's Firestone Library. He designed interiors for the Cunard Line's Boston offices in 1952 and lamps for Hansen LIGHTING of New York in 1957. Hansen LIGHTING was set up at 1st Ave and 53rd St. in New York City, following WWII by George Hansen in order to introduce his Classic, wall-mounted swing arm lamp. He had conceived of the IDEA while stationed as an Army staff sergeant in a lonely weather station in Goose Bay, Labrador, in Newfoundland. While spending a dark winter there, Hansen built a simple lamp that would allow him to read in bed. It consisted of a bent length of copper tubing, wired and bolted to the wall, with a bulb at one end and a tin can for a shield. The first Hansen lamps were built by a Queens metalworker. Early on, Hansen entered into association with METALARTE of Barcelona, a premier lighting manufacturer. The lamps attracted the attention of architects (Edward Durell Stone; Phillip Johnson; Skidmore, Owings & Merrill) and interior designers (Billy Baldwin, Edward Wormly, Eleanor Brown, Sister Parrish, Albert Hadley) as well as his future collaborator, world-renowned designer, T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings. Hansen retired from designing in 1988, and Hansen LAMPS was acquired in 1991 by Hinson LIGHTING...
