Mid-Century French Brass Smoked Glass Coffee Table

Substantial proportions, well made, good quality and craftsmanship, Hollywood Regency style, Modernist influence, in the manner of Jacques Adnet and Maison Jansen. Provenance: Acquired from the estate of the late T. Boone Pickens (1928-2019). An American business magnate, billionaire, financier, and philanthropist. Dimensions: (approx) 14.5"H, 33.5"W, 33.5"D Acquisition: J. Garrett Auctioneers had the pleasure of presenting Pickens' collection of 18th and 19th Century furnishings and accessories. This piece comes from the iconic Texas and Oklahoma oil tycoons Preston Hollow, North Dallas home. The breadth of T. Boone Pickens' career is impressive. He built one of the largest independent natural gas oil companies in the United States and flourished as an entrepreneur thereafter, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in the process. Among his lengthy accolades, Time magazine has identified him one of its "100 Most Influential People", Financial World named him "CEO of the Decade" in 1989, and Oil and Gas Investor identified him as one of the "100 Most Influential People of the Petroleum Century."

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...
