More About This Item:
This sophisticated pair of neoclassical brass side tables, attributed to the iconic Maison Jansen, brings a Parisian polish to any interior. Think of them as the kinds of pieces that might have graced the salons of high society—where conversation flowed like champagne and classical ideals were always en vogue.

Each table boasts a circular glass top, subtly tinted and gracefully perched atop a finely cast brass frame. The legs, fluted and tapered, echo Greco-Roman columns, while the curved X-stretchers beneath lend a lyrical architectural balance. Hoof-style feet provide a grounding finish. They offer a quiet flourish that speaks to the mastery of proportion and material.
Perfectly scaled for use beside a sculptural chair or as luxe nightstands, these tables embody the elegance and restraint of the neoclassical revival, with just enough mid-century confidence to feel fresh today.

These tables coordinate with a coffee table also in our shop.

Design Style:
These tables are textbook neoclassical revival, but what sets them apart is Maison Jansen’s signature fusion of French traditionalism with modern international flair. They bring a level of refinement that’s at once antique and fashionably current, ideal for interiors ranging from Parisian apartment to Upper East Side eclectic. Pair them with plush upholstery, lacquered finishes, or old master paintings for maximum drama.

Brand Legacy:
Founded in 1880 in Paris, Maison Jansen was the first truly international interior design firm, with clients ranging from royalty and aristocrats to Jackie Kennedy and the White House. The firm was known for bridging the gap between classical design and contemporary sophistication—often combining Louis XVI inspiration with modernist restraint. Pieces attributed to Jansen, especially from the mid-20th century, are highly collectible and admired for their exceptional materials, symmetry, and gravitas. See less
