Signed with Jansen stamp underneath on the wood frame and with fantastic provenance: from the estate of Roger Prigent (Malmaison).. This truly refined and sophisticated collectors piece has been refinished in a deep orange color that is close to Hermes Orange and is ready to grace the home or office of a design connoisseur or art collector.

The color is truly beautiful. While not exactly the same color as Hermes Orange, it has the same regal feel. Some descriptive words to help describe the color - perhaps blood orange, crimson orange or sunset orange. It has a vibrant, rich hue that is deep, saturated orange with hints of red.

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.

This highly desirable collectors piece with exquisite detail and craftsmanship was just restored and is ready to add distinction to your private art and design collection with its elegance and sophistication.

This Maison Jansen cocktail table with four marble sections would work great in a French Neoclassical, Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical, Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Post-Modern, Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room and is also an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
