A VERY FINE PAIR GILT BRONZE, BRASS AND MAHOGANY THREE-TIER ETAGERES
Attributed to Maison Jansen | unmarked | ca. 1960s
Item # 312XJH07E

An exceedingly fine pair of three-tier end tables from the second half of the 20th century, both feature lacquered mahogany surfaces with exquisite gilt-bronze metal work finishing all edges. They both rest over integrated gilded castors. Austere and exceedingly elegant – the quality of each is remarkable and above reproach.
