Square Hollywood Regency Coffee Table in Brass & Steel with Sliding Glass Top from Maison Jansen

Founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henry Jansen, Maison Jansen of Paris is considered the first truly global design firm. With a sophisticated clientele around the world, the house provided design services for European royalty and the redesign of the White House during the Kennedy era.

Maison Jansen's style fused traditional European design with trends of the day such as Viennese Secession, Modernism, and Art Deco. Within ten years, the company transformed from designer to designer-manufacturer, with its own showroom gallery that sold antiques in addition to its own collection.

Key to Jansen's identity is its playful, often dramatic yet practical design style, like this 1970s Maison Jansen coffee table with sliding glass top. The combination of glass inserts and thin edge framing makes the coffee table look light and unobtrusive despite its size. The sliding glass top allows the coffee table to be used as a display case for small objects or coffee table books. Square design with frame in brass and stainless steel. Sliding mechanism fully functional, even the often defective locking mechanism works properly. All glass tops without damage such as cracks or deeper scratches.
