Footnotes

  • Provenance:
    Purchased at William Baumgartner & Co., New York, circa 1917

    Jean-Henri Jansen (1854-1928) began his career as an upholsterer and decorator in Paris in 1882. In 1895, Jansen bought Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener's workshops and rights, incorporating the established firm into the young Maison Jansen. The firm grew rapidly in the early years of the 20th century, opening branches in Buenos Aires, New York, London, Havana and Alexandria. After Jansen's death it continued to provide furniture and decorations to an illustrious clientele throughout most of the 20th century, most memorably working with Jacqueline Kennedy in the early 1960s on the refurbishing of the White House.

    The present lot most likely dates from early in Jean-Henri Jansen's career, shortly after he acquired the Zwiener workshops. The extreme attention to detail, the vigorous molding and quality of the bronze mounts, and the overall superb execution all indicate a masterwork from Jansen's finest period.

    cf. The Victoria and Albert Museum, inventory number 1013-1882 for the model by Joseph.
