Brass Mirrored Border Nesting Tables with Glass Top from Maison Jansen, 1970s, Set of 2 for sale at Pamono

Description

Set of two brass mirrored borders with glass top nesting tables. Maison Jansen designed this fantastic set in France during the 1970s. This set is made of two small tables with retractable interlocking wheels, glass shelves and a mirror edge and a fantastic brass structure. The smaller side table has two shelves. This set is very ductile and can be placed perfectly in a Mid-Century kitchen, bar or living room. Maison Jansen employed a traditional style drawing upon European design, but the influence of contemporary trends, including the Vienna Secession, Modernism, and Art Deco has also appeared in Jansen interiors and in much of the custom furniture the firm produced between 1920 and 1950. Under Boudin’s leadership, Maison Jansen provided services to the royal families of Belgium, Iran, and Serbia; Elsie de Wolfe, and Lady Olive Baillie’s Leeds Castle in Kent, England. The firm’s most published work was a project by Boudin and Paul Manno, the head of Jansen’s New York office, for the U.S. White House during the administration of John F. Kennedy. At the same time, Jansen completed the interior of the motor yacht Chambel IV, now renamed Northwind II. Northwind II is one of the few remaining complete Jansen commissions. After Stphane Boudin died in 1967, colleague Pierre Delbe took over the business. Maison Jansen came under new ownership in 1979 and finally closed in 1989. Measures (cms): Large table width – 39.5 depth – 39.5 height – 48. Medium-sized table width – 33.5 depth – 33.5 height – 42.5.
