Featuring a square leather top over lacquered brown case with brushed steel trim, legs and drawer rings, each side has one drawer outfitted with an ashtray and cupholder cut-out. Lacquered portions were refinished and newly lacquered.

Ideal as a game table but can also be used as a dining table, cafe table, center table, lobby table, entry table, hosting table, Zoom table, brunch table, occasional table, or foyer table.

From the 1880s to the 1980s, Maison Jansen outfitted many of the most important homes and offices from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and Pamela Harriman just to name a few. Jansen's surviving interiors for monarchs, dictators, and social doyennes are now the focus of preservation projects while the furniture and objets d’art are sought after by interior designers, collectors and art investors, and decorative arts scholars alike.

Consider using this Guy Lefevre for Maison Jansen game table in a Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
