Maison Jansen
The Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen (1854–1928) was only in his mid-20s when he set up his Parisian design business in 1880. By the time he died, Maison Jansen had become the world’s first international decorating firm. Today, it is still regarded as one of the most notable firms and period furniture manufacturers in history, with its vintage floor lamps, tables, dressers and other furnishings remaining in demand.
Maison Jansen initially came to international prominence in 1883 when the young Jean-Henri Jansen traveled to Amsterdam to participate in the International Colonial Exposition, an event that featured presentations by 28 different nations and was attended by over a million visitors. There he exhibited as part of the French pavilion and won the silver medal. This led to two prominent new clients: King William III of the Netherlands and King Alfonso XII of Spain. Next was King Leopold II of Belgium for the interiors of the Château du Laeken, as well as commissions for Egypt’s King Farouk and Great Britain’s King Edward VII. Thanks to his participation in global expositions and fairs, Jansen expanded the renown of the firm so that its studios would reign in such major cities as London, New York, Buenos Aires, Cairo and many more.
Jansen was not only sought after for his taste but also for his custom period-inspired pieces. For example, in the Count and Countess de Revilla de Camargo’s Havana mansion, Jansen designed Louis XV–style furniture crafted from Cuban mahogany, enhancing Maison Jansen’s reputation as an expert maker. His custom furniture business was so successful that by 1900 he had opened his own atelier and employed around 700 artisans. In the 1960s, the firm, then led by Stéphane Boudin, worked with Jacqueline Kennedy on the refurbishment of rooms in the White House, including such spaces as the Queens’ Sitting Room, which featured bright blue fabric and neoclassical details.
Maison Jansen continued to produce furniture designs through the 20th century, responding to shifting tastes from Art Nouveau to Modern Regency. The atelier and studio officially closed its doors in 1989.

Overall a wonderful example! Maison Jansen: Maison Jansen (English: House of Jansen) was a Paris-based interior decoration office founded in the late 19th century and is considered the first truly global design firm, serving prominent clients in Europe, Latin America, North America (including the White House, numerous past presidents and celebrities) and the Middle East. In 1880, at the height of the Belle Époque, Jean-Henri Jansen emigrated from Holland to open a furniture shop on the Rue Royale in Paris. No one could have anticipated that his little business (one of the forerunners of interior decoration as we know it) would grow into an Empire, but within Jansen’s lifetime, his emphasis on historical research, his focus on client needs, and his comprehensive approach to transforming space, would earn his firm a faithful client base of wealthy, royal, and otherwise elite clients—clients they would keep for almost a century to come. Maison Jansen was a success from the very start. The shopkeeper made such a splash with his lavish and detailed window displays, and unique approach to selling furniture—Jansen was one of the first dealers to carry everything necessary to furnish a home—that within ten years Maison Jansen was no longer a store but a rapidly expanding design firm with a wealthy and faithful client base. By 1890 Jansen had established a prominent antiques trade, had opened up a workshop on the Rue Pergolese (where the company produced furniture of its own), and had achieved his first great feat of interior decoration—remodeling the Palace of Laeken at the behest of King Leopold II of Belgium. By 1900 Jansen’s reputation was monumental. His firm represented not merely the royalty of Europe, but the wealthy and powerful from all over the world. What’s more, by the turn of the century his furniture was heralded as some of the finest in Europe. The spectacular Art Nouveau writing desk the firm presented at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle remains, to this day, in the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and is considered one of the supreme examples of the period. Maison Jansen would not miss an important show thereafter, and participated in the 1925 Exhibition...Category
