He resided successively on rue Traversière, and rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine. The pieces signed with his mark show that he practiced marquetry with success. He produced furniture covered with veneer wood or marquetry of flowers, foliage, urns, trophies, in the Louis XV, Transition and Louis XVI styles. Jansen must be considered a most skilled marquetry maker; like Topino, Pioniez and a few others.
