Maison Jansen/House of Jansen is a Paris-based interior decoration office founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen. Jansen is considered the first truly global design firm. From its beginnings Maison Jansen combined traditional furnishings with influences of new trends. The firm paid great attention to historical research with which it attempted to balance clients’ desires for livable, usable, and often dramatic space. Within ten years the firm had become a major purchaser of European antiques, and by 1890 had established an antiques gallery as a separate firm that acquired and sold antiques to Jansen’s clients and its competitors as well.
