If you're searching for Chinoiserie furniture in the UK that combines museum-quality artistry with everyday livability, Jansen is the name you need to know.

What is Jansen Furniture?

Jansen is a celebrated furniture house with a heritage rooted in exceptional craftsmanship and a deep appreciation for Eastern-inspired design. Their pieces draw on the rich tradition of Chinoiserie — the European interpretation of Chinese and East Asian decorative arts — blending lacquered finishes, hand-painted motifs, and elegant silhouettes that feel both timeless and utterly distinctive.

The Art of Chinoiserie

Chinoiserie emerged in 17th-century Europe as craftsmen and designers became captivated by the beauty of Eastern art, porcelain, and lacquerwork. The style is characterised by delicate hand-painted scenes, exotic flora and fauna, rich lacquered surfaces, and refined gilded detailing. Jansen has mastered this tradition, producing pieces that honour its origins while feeling entirely relevant to modern interiors.

Whether you're furnishing a grand country house or adding a single statement furniture piece to a contemporary apartment, Jansen commands attention and elevates any interior scheme.

The Jansen Collection at Brights of Nettlebed

We are proud to stock a curated selection of Jansen pieces at our Nettlebed showroom in Oxfordshire. Seeing these pieces in person is an experience in itself — the depth of the lacquerwork, the precision of the joinery, and the sheer presence of each item simply cannot be conveyed through a photograph alone.

Our current Jansen collection includes:

• The Dumont Chinoiserie Dining Table — a showstopping centrepiece that transforms every meal into an occasion. Its hand-painted surface and lacquered finish make it one of the most talked-about pieces in our showroom. Style with upholstered dining chairs in velvet or silk for maximum impact.
• The Chinoiserie Coffee Table — a beautifully proportioned centrepiece featuring hand-painted Eastern motifs on a lacquered base. Perfect for a drawing room or living space, it pairs wonderfully with a neutral sofa and rich accessories.
• The Chinoiserie Side Table — an elegant accent piece that pairs effortlessly with both antique and contemporary sofas and armchairs. Use in pairs for a symmetrical, considered look.
• The Chinoiserie High Cabinet — a commanding storage piece that doubles as a work of art. Ideal for hallways, dining rooms, or studies, it brings instant drama and sophistication to any wall.
• The Chinoiserie Book Shelf — a refined open shelving unit that brings structure and beauty to any library or living room. Style with curated books, ceramics, and objets d'art.
• The Swirl Pierre Coffee Table and The Pierre Swirl Side Table — sculptural pieces that bring movement and modernity to the Chinoiserie aesthetic, perfect for more contemporary interiors.
• The Sleek Console Table — a versatile and refined piece suited to hallways, living rooms, or positioned behind a sofa as a display surface.
• The Henry Writing Desk — a beautifully crafted desk that brings old-world elegance to a home office or study. A true heirloom piece.
• The Astana Sofa — a luxuriously upholstered sofa with a silhouette that nods to classical design traditions, offering both beauty and comfort.

Why Chinoiserie Furniture Belongs in Your Home

Lovers of luxury furniture across London, and the UK are increasingly drawn to Chinoiserie pieces for their ability to add depth, colour, and narrative to an interior. Unlike mass-produced furniture, each Jansen piece carries a sense of history and intentionality that simply cannot be replicated.

Versatility Across Interior Styles

One of the great strengths of Chinoiserie furniture is its remarkable versatility. These pieces work beautifully in traditional country house settings, but are equally at home in more eclectic or contemporary interiors, where they provide a striking counterpoint to clean lines and neutral palettes. A single Jansen cabinet or coffee table can anchor an entire room's design scheme.
