PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A rare and exceptional set of six carved, painted, and gilt oak dining chairs attributed to Maison Jansen, circa 1940. Combining Neoclassical elegance with the theatrical sophistication characteristic of the celebrated Parisian design house, each chair features a distinctive open square back centered with an exuberantly carved and gilded acanthus leaf motif. The frames retain a beautifully contrasting combination of warm oak, softly painted accents, and rich gilt detailing. The turned and tapered front legs are embellished with gilded foliate carvings, rosettes, and decorative collars, while the upholstered seats are finished in a muted gray-green fabric with brass nailhead trim. The striking architectural silhouettes and lavish ornamentation reflect Jansen's signature interpretation of historical European styles. An exceptionally decorative and unusual set, equally suited to a formal dining room or an eclectic contemporary interior.
