Rare lacquered library attributed to Guy Lefèvre, Maison Jansen – 1970

Rare and exceptional, this library attributed to the French designer Guy Lefevre for the prestigious Maison Jansen, consists of a lacquered sideboard topped with a set of glass shelves on a brass structure. Made with a bronze-gilded lacquer finish, this series was only produced to order, making it a particularly sought-after piece today. The perfect proportions, architectural design, base, brass structure, and finely crafted handles testify to exceptional refinement and a quality of manufacture rarely matched. The lacquer, sprinkled with golden dust, offers deep and vibrant shades of browns and burgundies, typical of Jansen's most luxurious creations. The sideboard rests on an elegant brass plinth and opens with four doors revealing an interior in mahogany. One of the compartments is equipped with three drawers, while the interior shelves are removable, allowing for discreet and sophisticated modularity. In excellent condition, this library embodies the best of French design from the 1970s: pure lines, noble materials, sculptural allure, and a strong decorative presence. A rare, iconic piece and a true collector's item for enthusiasts of Maison Jansen and luxurious modernism. Reference 558V.
