About the Item

Attributed to the famed Parisian interior decorator firm, Maison Jansen, this Regence-style commode from the early 1900s features a beautiful parquetry of dark brown and honey-colored veneers. The multi-colored palette accentuates the parquetry, allowing the individual patterns to stand out. For example, the lightly overhanging top consists of three geometric motifs set within a large rectangle, that is in turn surrounded by a think molding of bronze. Each of the three tiers of drawers has a pair of bronze drop handles with floret mounts that are inset within a parquetry rectangle. A slightly asymmetrical (the Regence period is known for its use of asymmetrical elements within an overall uniform composition) key plate, in the form of a leaf, graces the center of each drawer. Both front feet, as well as the center of the apron, are embellished with more bronze mounts inspired by nature, containing pebbles, segmented shells, curled leaves, and fleur de lys. Maison Jansen was founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen. Considered the first truly global design firm, Maison Jansen serviced clients from the Middle East to Latin America. Originally relying on outside sources to craft furniture for their projects, Maison Jansen opened a production factory in the 1890s, allowing them to produce original designs. This Regence-style parquetry commode is a beautiful example of a Maison Jansen piece that can be placed anywhere a chest of drawers is needed.
