Item Details

Pair of Curule-Style Armchairs Attributed to Maison Jansen France, circa 1970
An elegant pair of curule-style armchairs attributed to Maison Jansen, combining neoclassical precision with the glamour of Hollywood Regency design.
The polished chrome-plated flat steel frames form sculptural X-shaped bases, joined by central ring braces. Slender uprights sweep upwards into curved armrests, accented with decorative gadrooned rings and chrome finials.
The suspended seats and broad backrests retain their original thick black leather, offering a striking contrast to the reflective frames. Leather straps threaded through chrome-plated loops secure each backrest at the sides—a distinctive detail that underscores the chairs’ refined construction.
Maison Jansen:
Founded by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen in 1880, Maison Jansen became one of the world’s most celebrated interior design firms. Blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary influences, the firm catered to an elite clientele that included royalty, heads of state, and cultural icons. Notable commissions included interiors for the Duchess of Windsor, the Shah of Iran, the King of Egypt, and the Rockefeller family, as well as the U.S. Embassy in Paris and numerous European embassies.
Maison Jansen also left its mark on some of the most prestigious hotels of the 20th century, including the Ritz in Paris, the Plaza in New York, and the Beverly Hills Hotel. Its reputation for glamour and sophistication endures, with Guy LeFèvre’s designs standing as some of its most recognisable contributions to modern decorative arts.
