Pair of lamps made in gilded metal that present a figurative conception as a palm tree following the iconic model of Maison Jansen. In both cases the base simulates a sort of cubic pot from which the trunk of the palm tree starts, while the leaves act as the lampshade.
The Palmera lamp is the star piece of Maison Jansen, an icon for lovers of interior decoration. With a proven track record, Maison Jansen has decorated the residences of such important personalities as the Kennedys, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Coco Chanel and the March family. Founded in 1880 by Dutch designer Jean-Henri Jansen (1854-1928), its aesthetics were based on French furniture combined with aesthetic influences from around the world. His most sought-after pieces reflected the influence of antique designs from the Louis XIV, Louis XVI, Directory and Empire eras, as well as objects Jansen encountered during his travels to Japan and Turkey.
