Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen (1854-1928) was only in his twenties when he founded his Parisian design company in 1880. By the time he died, Maison Jansen had become the world's leading international interior design company. Today, it is still considered one of the most remarkable companies and manufacturers of period furniture in history, with its vintage floor lamps, lighting fixtures and other furniture still in great demand.

The house of Jansen first came to international attention in 1883, when the young Jean-Henri Jansen went to Amsterdam to take part in the International Colonial Exhibition, an event that included presentations from 28 different nations and attracted over a million visitors. He exhibited as part of the French pavilion and won the silver medal. This led to two important new customers: King William III of the Netherlands and King Alfonso XII of Spain. Next came King Leopold II of Belgium for the interiors of the Château de Laeken, as well as commissions for King Farouk of Egypt and King Edward VII of Great Britain. Jansen's participation in world exhibitions and fairs extended the company's reputation to the point where its studios reigned in such major cities as London, New York, Buenos Aires, Cairo and many others.

Maison Jansen continued to produce furniture throughout the 20th century, responding to changing tastes. The workshop and studio officially closed in 1989.
