Deux appliques rocaille où veillent des personnages vêtus à l'orientale

Deux personnages vêtus à l'orientale se font face sous une gerbe de feuilles d'acanthe. À gauche, un homme barbu en robe et bonnet rouges tient un objet sombre contre sa poitrine ; à droite, une femme en robe verte se tient près d'un vase clair. Autour d'eux, le métal doré se déploie en rocaille : un haut panache de feuillage, une console qui s'effile vers le bas, deux bras souples terminés par des bobèches en tulipe. La dorure, plus brune dans les creux, laisse la couleur des vêtements tenir le premier rôle.

L'intitulé dit seulement « dans le goût de Maison Janssen », ce qui n'est pas une attribution. Le nom rappelle Maison Jansen, agence de décoration parisienne fondée en 1880 par Jean-Henri Jansen, conduite ensuite par Stéphane Boudin et fermée en 1989. Dès les années 1890, elle fabriquait ses propres meubles ; elle a travaillé pour des familles royales et, sous Kennedy, pour la Maison-Blanche. L'orthographe diffère pourtant, et rien ne relie ces appliques à la maison. La fiche les range dans l'art d'Asie et les date seulement du XXe siècle ; le rapprochement reste une manière de les regarder, non une histoire établie.

Read in English

Two figures in oriental dress face each other beneath sprays of acanthus. On the left, a bearded man in a red robe and cap holds a dark object to his chest; on the right, a woman in a green robe stands beside a pale vase. Around them the gilded metal unfolds in rocaille: a tall plume of foliage, a bracket tapering to a point, two supple arms ending in tulip-shaped nozzles. The gilding, browner in the hollows, leaves the colour of the robes to take the lead.

The title says only in the taste of Maison Janssen, which is not an attribution. The name recalls Maison Jansen, the Paris decorating firm founded in 1880 by Jean-Henri Jansen, later led by Stéphane Boudin and closed in 1989. From the 1890s it made its own furniture, and it worked for royal families and, under Kennedy, for the White House. Yet the spelling differs, and nothing ties these lights to the firm. The listing files them under Asian art and dates them only to the twentieth century; the comparison remains a way of looking, not an established history.

Sources and points to validate
  • Maison Jansen, agence de décoration parisienne fondée en 1880 par Jean-Henri Jansen, dirigée ensuite par Stéphane Boudin, a fermé en 1989 ; elle a travaillé pour des familles royales et pour la Maison-Blanche sous Kennedy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_Jansen
  • La maison avait constitué dès les années 1890 sa propre capacité de fabrication de meubles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_Jansen
To be validated
  • Formule dans le goût de : aucune attribution à Maison Jansen n'est affirmée ni établie ; le titre écrit Janssen, orthographe différente de la maison parisienne, et le lien n'est pas démontré.
  • Le champ Style de la fiche indique Art d'Asie, ce qui cadre mal avec une référence à une maison de décoration parisienne ; la fiche ne précise pas le décor.
  • Aucune source trouvée sur des appliques polychromes de ce type ; le paragraphe historique reste donc général.
  • Dimensions de la fiche sans unité (27 x 36 x 12), non vérifiées ; datation seulement XXe siècle.
  • Nature de la polychromie (d'origine ou reprise), état des bronzes et conformité électrique non renseignés.
