About the Item
A fine pair of French Louis XV style gilt and green-cream painted carved Fauteuils armchairs, attributed to Maison Jansen. The arched back frame crowned with carvings of flowers with open arm rests and raised on cabriolet legs and fitted with a cushion, both upholstered in a recent velvet, circa 1920s.
Maison Jansen (House of Jansen) was a Paris-based interior decoration office founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen and continuing in practice until 1989. Jansen is considered the first truly global design firm, serving clients in Europe, Latin America, North America and the Middle East by 1900.
History
From its beginnings Maison Jansen combined traditional furnishings with influences of new trends including Anglo-Japanese style, the Arts
Crafts movement, and Turkish style. The firm paid great attention to historical research with which it attempted to balance clients' desires for livable, usable, and often dramatic space. Within ten years the firm had become a major purchaser of European antiques, and by 1890 had established an antiques gallery as a separate firm that acquired and sold antiques to Jansen's clients and its competitors as well.
In the early 1920s Jean-Henri Jansen approached Stéphane Boudin, who was then working in the textile trimming business owned by his father Alexandre Boudin, and brought him on-board. Accounts of the arrangement vary. Speculation existed that Boudin was able to provide financial solvency to the prominent but capital-poor atelier. Boudin's attention to detail, concern for historical accuracy, and ability to create dramatic and memorable spaces brought increasing new work to the firm. Boudin was made director and presided over an Expansion of the firm's offices and income.
Furniture
Not originally equipped with its own workrooms for producing furniture the firm began by relying upon antiques and the furniture contracted to outside cabinetmakers. By the early 1890s Maison Jansen had established its own manufacturing capacity producing furniture of contemporary design, as well as reproductions, primarily in the Louis XIV, Louis XVI, Directoire, and Empire styles.
Work
Throughout the firm's history, it employed a traditional style drawing upon European design, but influence of contemporary trends including the Vienna Secession, Modernism, and Art Deco has also appeared in Jansen interiors and in much of the custom furniture the firm produced between 1920 and 1950.
Under Boudin's leadership, Maison Jansen provided services to the royal families of Belgium, Iran, and Serbia; Elsie de Wolfe, the German Reichsbank during the period of National Socialism; and Lady Olive Baillie's Leeds Castle in Kent, England. The firm's most published work was a project by Boudin and Paul Manno, the head of Jansen's New York office, for the U.S. White House during the administration of John F. Kennedy. At the same time, Jansen completed the interior of the motor yacht Chambel IV, now renamed NorthWind II. Northwind II is one of the few remaining complete Jansen commissions.

Pair French Late 19th century Louis xv Style carved gold gilt armchairs
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
This outstanding pair of French Louis XV armchairs, dating from the 19th century, represents the epitome of Rococo luxury and craftsmanship. Each fauteuil is richly gilded with hand-carved details, highlighting the exquisite asymmetrical scrolls, floral motifs, and cabriole legs that define the Louis XV style. The frames feature a warm, time-softened gilding that enhances their antique character, making them both elegant and authentic.
The chairs retain their original damask upholstery in a muted rose-salmon hue, decorated with intricate floral patterns. The padded backs, arms, and generously proportioned seats ensure both comfort and sophistication. The scrolling arms with upholstered rests and the dramatic crests carved with rocaille flourishes reflect the refined artistry of 19th-century French furniture makers.
Perfect as statement accent chairs, formal salon seating, or luxurious additions to a period-inspired interior, these armchairs embody the grandeur of the French aristocratic tradition. Their gilded presence works beautifully in both traditional and eclectic spaces, where they can serve as decorative focal points.
Collectors, interior designers, and connoisseurs will appreciate the balance of historical authenticity, rich gilded surfaces, and enduring elegance. This pair of 19th-century Louis XV gilt...
