About the Item

1940s Jansen-style Modern wooden 2-drawer desk with bronze accents and leather surface, France By: Maison Jansen (in the style of) Material: wood, metal, bronze, copper, tin, leather Technique: carved, cast, hand-crafted, molded, varnished, metalwork, polished Dimensions: 18.5 in x 51 in x 55 in Date: mid-20th century, circa 1940 Style: Mid-Century Modern Place of origin: France Defined by clean lines and a balanced silhouette, this French desk from the 1940s reflects the refined sensibility of mid-century modern design. Its rectangular body is crafted in warm-toned wood, set over four slender legs sheathed in patinated bronze, subtly tapered toward the base. The top is clad in dark leather, neatly framed and slightly raised, creating a soft contrast in both texture and tone. Two seamlessly integrated front drawers offer understated functionality, their linear grain and joinery in harmony with the desk’s overall geometry. The construction reveals a thoughtful combination of traditional techniques—carving, polishing, and metalwork—executed with precision and restraint. With its composed profile and discreet decorative accents, the piece demonstrates an elegant interplay between materiality and form characteristic of modern French craftsmanship of the period.
