About

Crafted in France circa 1950, this mid-century coffee table by Maison Jansen exemplifies the firm’s signature blend of neoclassical elegance and modern restraint. The rectangular frame holds a clear beveled glass top and is supported by elegant tapered legs composed of solid steel with a distinctive gun barrel patina, accented by gilt bronze collars and fluted capitals. The refined two-tone finish offers a sophisticated contrast, while arched side stretchers and an X-form center support with a fluted finial provide architectural balance and stability. The use of bronze and steel underscores Jansen’s mastery of material and proportion, echoing 18th-century French design while maintaining a clean, modern silhouette. Measuring 41 inches wide by 21 inches deep and 19 inches high, this antique-style table is in very good vintage condition with light wear and patina consistent with age. A versatile and elegant piece, ideal for interiors that mix classic and contemporary elements. Maison Jansen was a Paris-based interior decoration firm founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen. Considered the first truly international design house, Jansen served elite clients across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. Initially sourcing antiques and outsourcing cabinetmaking, the firm established its own workshops by the 1890s, producing both contemporary designs and high-quality reproductions in Louis XIV, Louis XVI, Directoire, and Empire styles. This table reflects that legacy of refined craftsmanship
