This piece, pair of andirons of neoclassical style in bronze in the style of la maison jansen, illustrates the Neoclassical style characteristic of French craftsmanship from the 1950 period. Paire of chenets of style Neoclassical en bronze. French craftsmanship in the style of la Maison Jansen. Circa 1940.

Maison Jansen, founded in Paris in 1880, was for nearly a century the absolute reference in international interior decoration. Under the direction of Stéphane Boudin, the firm specialized in reinterpreting Directoire and Empire styles, designing highly refined furniture for a prestigious clientele — embassies, high aristocracy, crowned heads. Maison Jansen's brass creations are particularly sought after today for their timeless elegance and quality of execution.

The Neoclassical ornamental vocabulary — openwork galleries, pure lines, geometric motifs — gives this piece a presence that is both refined and statuesque. The rigor of the proportions and the quality of the materials make it a timeless object, perfectly suited to a classic or contemporary interior. The Neoclassical style, inherited from revisited Antiquity, has never ceased to inspire the great French houses.

With its dimensions of 7.68 in wide, 18.5 in deep, 20.87 in tall, this piece will naturally find its place in a sophisticated interior. It will sublimate a living room, library or office, whether classic or contemporary. An ideal choice for lovers of fine antiques and refined decoration. Good general condition.
