In the 21st century, a mystique has grown around vintage Jansen designs that began with a series of celebrity auctions in the 1990s. The firm is now deeply associated with the mythology of love, power, and tragedy that surround its patrons: the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Honorable Pamela Harriman, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, to name a few. Surviving interiors designed by Jansen for monarchs, dictators, and social doyennes are now the focus of preservation projects and research, while the furniture and objets d’art are sought after and prized by contemporary designers, collectors, and decorative arts scholars alike.
