The story

This rare Louis XVI style ebonized desk stamped Maison Jansen has been made in the early 1950s with black varnished mahogany wood, cognac leather top, and rich gilt bronze decor and accents. With its sleek rectangular bureau plat shape, fluted feet with brass sabots, rich gilt bronze decorations, this desk is typical of the French neoclassical work of Maison Jansen, Louis XVI inspired. It features three drawers on the front, with its original cognac leather top with a beautiful patina. This desk has been fully restored and refinished, and is in an amazing condition. A rare find, early Jansen quality made, with a lot of attention to details, stamped Jansen.

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.
