About the Item

Magnificent mid-century brass and crystal glass bar trolley with bottle holder. This serving trolley was produced by the Maison Jansen in France during the 1970s. The piece has tow crystalglass shelves, one on the top and one on the bottom, and has an elegant brass structure and handle. The four wheels make it perfect to move it smoothly. The bottle holder is on the bottom part shelf and it is completely removable. This amazing piece is in great vintage condition and will take your bar to the next level. From its beginnings Maison Jansen combined traditional furnishings with influences of new trends including Anglo-Japanese style, the Arts & Crafts movement, and Turkish style. The firm paid great attention to historical research with which it attempted to balance clients' desires for livable, usable, and often dramatic space. Within ten years the firm had become a major purchaser of European antiques, and by 1890 had established an antiques gallery as a separate firm that acquired and sold antiques to Jansen's clients and its competitors as well. In the early 1920s Jean-Henri Jansen approached Stéphane Boudin, who was then working in the textile trimming business owned by his father Alexandre Boudin, and brought him on board. Accounts of the arrangement vary. Speculation existed that Boudin was able to provide financial solvency to the prominent but capital-poor atelier. Boudin's attention to detail, concern for historical accuracy, and ability to create dramatic and memorable spaces brought increasing new work to the firm. Boudin was made director and presided over an expansion of the firm's offices and income.
