Maison Jansen was a Paris-based interior decoration office founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen. Jansen is considered the first truly global design firm, serving clients in Europe, Latin America, North America and the Middle East. This House was located at 23, rue de l'Annonciation, Paris, and closed in 1989. From its beginnings Maison Jansen combined traditional furnishings with influences of new trends including Anglo-Japanese style, the Arts and Crafts movement, and Turkish style. The firm paid great attention to historical research with which it attempted to balance clients' desires for livable, usable, and often dramatic space. Within ten years the firm had become a major purchaser of European antiques, and had established an antiques gallery as a separate firm that acquired and sold antiques to Jansen's clients and its competitors as well.
Here we have a lighting palm tree made in brass with black glass base designed by Maison Jansen in 70s. It is very peculiar and decorative, suitable for many rooms and occasions.
We dispose of two of them as shown in photos.
Good condition, fully original.
