Jansen: Decoration (Book)

About the Item

A very scarce book printed in 1971, now long out of print, but still held to be one of the Classic books on interior decoration and design. The book covers a period of approximately one hundred years from 1880 to the year of printing. During this time Jansen expanded to become one of the foremost interior design houses and suppliers of furniture and fittings to a very diverse client base ranging from the likes of Coco Chanel, to Elsie de Wolfe, to the Imperial Royal House of Persia for whom a whole tented village was constructed in Persepolis for the 2,500th anniversary celebrations of the Persian Empire and the Kennedy White House. A Classic book for any decorators library. Text is in English and French. There are two small repaired tears in the rear side of the dust jacket.
