The Parisian design firm Maison Jansen was one of the most renowned and influential interior design firms of the 20th century, patronized by monarchies, heads of state, and members of high society. It was also one of the first truly international design firms.
An impressive array of clients commissioned work from Maison Jansen, including King William III of the Netherlands, Alfonso XII of Spain, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, King Leopold II of Belgium, the Shah of Iran, oil magnate Charles Bierer Wrightsman, Leeds Castle, the Hotel Parr in Vienna, the Reichsbank, the Rockefellers, Coco Chanel, Elsie de Wolfe, and the Kennedys, among many others.
Founded in 1880 by Dutch designer Jean-Henri Jansen (1854–1928), it closed its doors in 1989, sixty years after its founder’s death. Today, Maison Jansen’s creations are highly sought after by collectors and fetch substantial prices.
