About the Item

This rare and elegant pair of French Directoire commodes, attributed to the esteemed design house Maison Jansen, exemplifies the refined artistry of early 20th-century European furniture making. Each commode features three spacious drawers adorned with delicate chinoiserie paint decoration, depicting whimsical landscapes, figures, and natural motifs in muted tones. The hand-painted details, framed by gilt trim, add depth and sophistication, evoking a sense of timeless luxury. The commodes are raised on tapered, fluted legs with gilt accents, characteristic of the Directoire style, offering a sense of lightness and classical balance. The subtle distressed finish enhances their authenticity, blending old-world charm with versatile appeal. Whether placed in a refined entryway, bedroom, or living space, these commodes serve as both functional storage pieces and decorative statement furniture. Perfect for antique, Hollywood Regency, and mid-century modern interiors, this pair harmonizes with a wide range of design schemes. Their combination of classic French lines, chinoiserie artistry, and Maison Jansen quality makes them ideal for collectors and decorators seeking statement pieces with history, elegance, and practical use. Measures 42 wide x 29 tall x19.5 deep. Dates to the 1940s era.
