Description 1: Maison Jansen, Hollywood Regency, Desk or Vanity, Eglomise Glass, Etched Glass, Silver Leaf, 20th C.

This Hollywood Regency Maison Jansen fine eglomise double-drawer etched mirror and silver leaf vanity desk or console table is a truly exceptional piece, the photographs scarcely capturing its full magnificence. A stunning representation of the highly coveted Maison Jansen design, this eglomise vanity is one of the finest examples of the designer's work, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every surface of the desk or console, from the interior and exterior to the drawer sides, feet, legs, and top, is meticulously adorned with etched glass having parcel gold and silver leaf, ensuring a lustrous finish. Not only does this piece serve as a functional vanity or console, but its intricate artistry makes it a striking conversation starter.

Accompanied by a letter of authentication from James Archer Abbott, the esteemed author of Designing Camelot: The Kennedy White House Restoration and both Jansen Furniture Books, this piece is a rare and valuable addition to any collection.

James Archer Abbott serves as Director and Curator of Johns Hopkins University's Evergreen Museum & Library - one of two museums owned and operated by the university. Mr. Abbott's publications include the following exhibition catalogs: Visions of Washington Irving: Selections from the Collections of Historic Hudson Valley (co-author, 1991); Classical to 19th century America: The Influence of Berry Tracy on the Historical Interior (1994); and A Frenchman in Camelot: The Decoration of the Kennedy White House by Ste?phane Boudin (1995). Mr. Abbott co-wrote with Elaine Rice a further exploration of the Kennedy White House decor, entitled Designing Camelot: The Kennedy White House Restoration, which was published by Van Nostrand Reinhold in 1998. In 2006, he completed a well-received history of the international design firm Jansen (1880-1989), entitled "JANSEN," and published by Acanthus Press, LLC. This was followed by a companion volume, "Jansen Furniture," published in spring 2007.
