Brass Side Table with Beaded Friezes and Glass Edged with Mirror. Work

This end table features a quadrangular brass structure with fluted and tapered supports, topped with baluster finials. The two transparent glass tops, bordered by a mirror strip, are set in frames highlighted by fine beaded friezes that delicately capture light. The legs taper elegantly to a point. This neoclassical design—beaded friezes, elongated proportions, polished brass—is characteristic of the productions of Maison Jansen, the renowned Parisian decoration house founded in 1880, supplier to royal courts and the most prestigious residences. Its small flying furniture pieces in brass and glass are among the most sought after on the market. Condition report: Overall good condition. Brass with a beautiful homogeneous golden patina, original glass and mirror borders may show probable micro-scratches and slight oxidation of the backing inherent to age. A refined end table, suitable as a side table or precious bedside table.
