The story

This impressive fireplace mantel was executed by Maison Jansen in 1968 for a mansion in Paris 16th arrondissement, under Pierre Delbée supervision. Executed in brushed stainless steel, with 18th century carved and sculpted stone jambs. The contrast between brushed steel and the warm stone is typical of Pierre Delbée artistic direction of Maison Jansen in the late 1960s and 1970s. Delbée took over the direction of Maison Jansen after Stéphane Boudin passed away in 1967, keeping the neoclassical design signature, but injecting some modernity and tension to it. This fireplace is a perfect example of the 1970s vibe of Maison Jansen.

This fireplace was presented by Gallerie Yves Gastou in New York in 2006.

Overall mantel dimensions: width 59.65 inches x depth 14.55 inches x height 38.2 inches.

Hearth opening dimensions: width 30.3 inches x depth 7.28 inches x height 27.95 inches.

About Maison Jansen

Maison Jansen was founded in Paris in 1880 by the Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen and became one of the most influential decorating houses of the twentieth century. Under Stéphane Boudin it worked for royal households and notably advised on the restoration of the White House under Jacqueline Kennedy. Its furniture, in a refined neoclassical taste, includes brass palm tree lamps and lacquered pieces. Collectors look for stamped or documented Jansen furniture.
