About the Item

This pair of Maison Jansen brass and steel ram’s head Savonarola chairs exemplifies the Parisian design house’s mastery of blending classical inspiration with modern sophistication. Known for creating elegant and timeless furniture for aristocrats, tastemakers, and world leaders, Maison Jansen drew upon centuries of European design heritage, and these chairs reflect their neoclassical and Renaissance Revival influences. The chairs feature graceful X-form Savonarola bases in polished steel, supported by cross stretchers with decorative brass roundels at the center. The arms terminate in finely cast gilt brass ram’s heads, a signature motif symbolizing strength and authority. Brass accents continue along the legs, which rest on hoof-form feet that enhance their dramatic presence. The sling-style seats and backs are crafted from sleek black leather, providing both comfort and striking contrast against the polished metal frame. Perfect as accent chairs in a refined living room, library, or grand entryway, this pair is both sculptural and functional. Collectors and designers alike will value their Maison Jansen provenance, bold architectural form, and luxurious materials. These Savonarola chairs capture the spirit of 20th-century French design at its most opulent and enduring.

Pair Ebonized Italian 1890s Era Carved Gilded Dolphin Neoclassical Armchairs
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
This exceptional pair of Italian neoclassical armchairs, dating from the 1890s, showcases the refined artistry and bold decorative flourishes of late 19th-century craftsmanship. Each chair is ebonized to a deep, lustrous black, providing a dramatic contrast to the richly carved and gilded details. The standout feature is the magnificent dolphin motif: the gilded dolphin arms curve gracefully forward, their finely carved heads forming the armrests, while additional gilt accents highlight the neoclassical sensibility. The splat features mythological dolphin carvings framed with gilt decoration, reinforcing their commanding presence. Upholstered in a rich plum-toned velvet, the seats provide both comfort and an added layer of opulence. The combination of ebonized frames, gilt carvings, and jewel-like upholstery makes these armchairs versatile statement pieces. They fit effortlessly into traditional antique settings, elevate Hollywood Regency interiors with glamour and theatricality, and even contrast beautifully against streamlined mid-century modern design.
