About the Item

This desk illustrates the great mastery of tubular brass furniture in mid-20th-century French high-end decoration. The structural design relies on a crossed 'X' base (curule inspiration), stiffened by a large central tubular stretcher. The junction points of the structure are highlighted by elegant molded brass rings. The piece offers a rectangular clear glass writing surface, topped at the rear by a gradin (a raised shelf). The latter is supported by slender small columns finished with finials, and flanked laterally by two curved brackets, providing an airy and sophisticated finish to the piece. The rigor of this geometry, drawing directly from the neoclassical and Directoire repertoires while refining it through the use of glass, allows this furniture to be linked to the productions of Maison Jansen. Founded in Paris in 1880, this prestigious firm established itself in the 20th century, under the direction of Stéphane Boudin, as the global benchmark for luxury interior design (furnishing high aristocracy and major embassies). The Parisian house made this type of brass and glass occasional furniture an unmistakable signature to satisfy the demand for bright, sophisticated interiors affiliated with the Hollywood Regency movement. Good overall condition. The solid brass structure displays a natural and even patina of use, with minute traces of oxidation inherent to its age. The two glass plates are intact. Thanks to its transparency and fine lines, this desk will anchor a workspace, a boudoir, or a bedroom without visually weighing down the space.
