This elegant near pair of French mid-century etageres is attributed to the esteemed Parisian design firm Maison Jansen, known for its sophisticated fusion of classical form and modern materials. Crafted from patinated steel with brass detailing, each piece showcases neoclassical motifs including ram’s head finials, hoof feet, and crossed side supports with central rosettes.
Stylistically, the etageres reflect the Hollywood Regency taste for glamour and symmetry, while their mixed metal construction nods to industrial elegance. Though not identical, the two display as a visually compelling pair. One is slightly taller, with small variations in shelf fittings, screw heads, and patina (one cooler, one warmer in tone).
Together they offer both presence and function – perfect for a grand living room or formal library, or as dramatic entryway anchors. Each unit includes six glass shelves for ample display.
