Lot Essay

This classic Swedish design -- the prototypes mostly date from c. 1800 -- shows the range of Jansen models that spread far beyond 18th century French furniture. An identical console table, although with either a verde antico or faux-marble top and base, is reproduced in James Abbott's Jansen Furniture, and was evidently part of Maison Jansen's 57th Street offerings as the image is inscribed '...JANSEN INC. 1 EAST 57th STREET NEW YORK 22, NY...'. Clearly a popular design, it was in production from the 1930's until the 1960's.
