About the Item
Refined and compact, this Maison Jansen–attributed Directoire-style desk from the 1950s showcases timeless French elegance in a scaled-down form ideal for a lady’s writing table or child’s desk. Expertly ebonized in rich black lacquer, the desk is accented with gilt brass trim and fluting, highlighting its neoclassical lines and Directoire-inspired design. Tapered legs with brass sabots and fluted side panels further enhance the sophistication of this petite yet luxurious piece.
A single center drawer with original brass pulls and an escutcheon adds both function and visual balance. Whether placed in a bedroom, study, or dressing room, this piece makes a stylish and practical statement with a small footprint and big impact.
Attributed to the iconic Parisian design house Maison Jansen, this desk embodies the firm’s signature blend of classical French heritage and mid-century chic. Expected signs of vintage wear, including minor scuffs and patina to the lacquer and hardware, add character and authenticity. A rare opportunity to own a charming and collectible piece of 1950s French decorative arts.
Measures 27 tall x 38 wide x 24 deep.
