Side Table in Brass with Openwork Gallery and Gilt Aged Mirror, by Maison Jansen, Circa 1960

This side table features a quadrangular brass structure with tapered uprights, topped with seed finials. The two tops of gilt aged mirror, with characteristic golden-brown and clouded shades, give rhythm to the height; the upper top is bordered by a fine openwork gallery with arcatures that underlines the precious character of the whole.

This neoclassical elegance combined with the charm of aged églomisé mirror is characteristic of the productions of Maison Jansen, the great Parisian decorating house founded in 1880, supplier to royal courts and the most refined interiors. Its small occasional brass pieces are among the most sought-after on the market.

Condition report: Good overall condition. Brass with an even gilt patina, original aged mirrors showing the spotting and silvering shades that constitute all their charm. A precious side table, perfect alongside a sofa or as a refined bedside table.
