The cart is executed in brass with three circular glass trays, each framed by a finely pierced gallery edge that gives the piece its characteristic lightness and refinement. The proportions are well balanced, with slender vertical supports and discreet original castors that allow it to move smoothly despite its solid construction. The removable trays add a practical element and make the piece easy to use as a serving cart, cocktail trolley, or mobile side table. The brass has developed a warm, natural patina over time, which works beautifully with the clear glass surfaces and highlights the quality of the original materials and craftsmanship. The design is understated yet unmistakably luxurious, typical of Maison Jansen’s ability to bridge classic French elegance with modern functionality. A versatile and timeless piece that works equally well in a living room, dining room, or study, and that can be styled formally or casually depending on the setting. 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
