Maison Jansen brass horse-head coffee tables, featuring hoof feet and glass tops, were designed in France but frequently manufactured in Italy during the mid-century period. These iconic, high-end pieces often lack a direct Jansen signature; instead, they have only a "Made in Italy" stamp. The "Made in Italy" stamp (see photo #14 ) is still on the inside of the table, and there is no Jansen signature.

This striking vintage octagonal coffee table was crafted in Italy for the French market, circa 1960s–1970s. This exceptional piece embodies neoclassical refinement with bold Hollywood Regency flair.

The sculptural, solid brass base features four finely detailed horse heads crowning each leg, flowing into elegantly curved supports and terminating in distinctive hoof feet. Double ring stretchers connect the base, adding both structural integrity and sophisticated visual balance. The brass retains a beautiful, naturally aged patina that enhances its authenticity and vintage appeal.

The table is topped with its original octagonal beveled glass surface (¼ inch thick), allowing full appreciation of the ornate equestrian motif beneath. The transparent top highlights the craftsmanship and creates a light, elegant presence despite the substantial brass construction.

Vintage “Maison Jansen” pieces, which bear a stamp “Made in Italy” from this period, are celebrated for their luxurious materials, refined metalwork, and classical animal motifs. This example is a superb representation of the firm’s mid-century neoclassical aesthetic and would serve as a dramatic focal point in any living room or sophisticated interior.

Perfect for collectors of Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, or French neoclassical design.
