is an interior design house located in Paris. It was founded in 1880 by the Dutch Jean-Henri Jansen. Jansen House is considered the first global design firm to have made its name a brand, offering its services in Europe, Latin America, North America and the Middle East. Since its beginnings, Maison Jansen has combined traditional furnishings with new trends inspired by the Anglo-Japanese style, the Arts & Crafts movement and the Turkish style. In ten years, the firm had become one of the largest buyers of antiquities in Europe and by 1890 it had created an antiquities gallery as a separate company that acquired and sold objects to Jansen House customers and even to its competitors. In 1880, Maison Jansen did not have a workshop to create its own furniture; she used antique furniture or furniture made by artisans. On the other hand, in the early 1940s the Maison Jansen created its own workshops rue Saint SABIN in Paris employing 200 artisans and companions in each trade (cabinet making, tapestry, lacquer, gilding, bronze, lighting).
