The story

This beautiful pair of palm tree table lamps is a rare find, an early 1960s version of one of the most iconic pieces by Maison Jansen. The base and trunk are made of French mahogany wood, with gold leaf gilt accents. But what makes these Jansen palm tree pieces most extraordinary is the level of detail that went into every aspect, individual pieces of patinated bronze have been shaped around the trunk to look and feel like the coastal tree’s bark, as well as the leaves on top. There are three light fixtures under the hanging just below the leaves, warming up the bronze patina. Fully restored, and found in a very good vintage condition, these pieces will instantly transform a space with its lively Parisian 1960s flair.

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.
