Rare Golden Lacquer and Brass Maison Jansen Bar Coffee Table, 1970s

An exciting example of French design firm Maison Jansen’s commissioned pieces. This bar coffee table is made from solid mahogany, lacquered in a rich dark brown and bronze, golden finish. The resulting effect is a beautiful mottling of color around the entirety of the piece. This table features a niche bar made in brass, and painted black angles highlighting the warmer, lighter colors of the wood. The boxy, clean design of this coffee table by Maison Jansen balances the best of Mid-Century Modern design with a contemporary look. It was high-quality made and still is in very good vintage condition. It’s also quite rare, as the design was never mass-produced.
