Catalogue Note
The celebrated firm of Maison Jansen operated in Paris from 1880-1989, supplying exceptional furniture to an international clientele which included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Jacqueline Kennedy. The most influential firm in the 20th century, Jansen produced works of contemporary design but also closely followed the Parisian trends of the day, incorporating both an 18th century revival aesthetic and 19th century imperialistic designs to their decorative vocabulary.
