Fantastic Mid-Century serving bar cart in solid brass and crystal glas. Maison Jansen produced this cosy serving trolley in France during the 1950s . This lovely object is unique thanks to its small dimensions and perfect proportions. It has two removable shelves with stunning decorations on the frame that hold two crystal glasses. The the original patina hasn't been restored, resulting in a wonderful mix of bronzed and gold shades that enhances its charm and historical value. A piece that will be perfect for a mid-century living room, or a fantastic minimal bar. Dimensions (cm): Width - 37 Depth - 33 Height - 48 from its beginnings Maison Jansen combined traditional furnishings with influences of new trends including Anglo-Japanese style, the Arts & 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 by 1890 had established an antiques gallery as a separate firm that acquired and sold antiques to Jansen's clients and its competitors as well. In the early 1920s Jean-Henri Jansen approached Stéphane Boudin, who was then working in the textile trimming business owned by his father Alexandre Boudin, and brought him on board. Accounts of the arrangement vary. Speculation existed that Boudin was able to provide financial solvency to the prominent but capital-poor atelier. Boudin's attention to detail, concern for historical accuracy, and ability to create dramatic and memorable spaces brought increasing new work to the firm. Boudin was made director and presided over an expansion of the firm's offices and income. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
