Executed in a combination of bronze and steel, the table features a warm, softly aged patina with slender, tapered steel uprights accented by bronze mounts. Each leg is crowned with classical acorn-form finials and joined by delicately scaled stretcher bars, while the corners are embellished with decorative rosette mounts that add subtle sculptural detail and visual richness.
The upper tier is fitted with a clear glass top that allows full appreciation of the architectural framework, while the lower tier retains its original mirrored glass shelf with beautifully aged foxing, enhancing depth and reflecting light throughout the piece. This interplay of bronze, steel, and glass creates a sense of lightness while maintaining a strong, structured presence.
Balanced in proportion and elegant in profile, this antique Maison Jansen table was designed to be both functional and visually sophisticated, ideal for use as a coffee or cocktail table. The combination of refined materials reflects the atelier’s mastery of timeless French design.
The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with light wear to the metal and foxing to the mirror consistent with its period, enhancing its authentic antique character.
