Maison Jansen was a furniture maker and interior designer. Not a lamp manufacturer. They did sell lamps made by others that matched their interior decor, hence the confusion.
These lamps are often attributed to the famous Maison Jansen company, but there were several artists and companies in the 1960s and mostly in the 1970s who created similar lamps. To name a few: Christian Techoueyres and Glensar, both companies from France. Some of them are signed, most are not.
Maison Jansen or House of Jansen, was a Paris-based interior decoration company founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen. It was located at 23, rue de l’Annonciation, Paris. Today the house is the Maison Jansen museum and it also promotes contemporary artists.
The Germany company Hans Kögl is a manufacturer that still produces big palm tree floor lamps.
Roel D’Haese
Sometimes these brass flowers floor lamp with the same base and made in the same style are attributed to Belgian artist Roel D’Haese (1921-1996). It is said that they are made in the 60s. But those are false assumptions. Roel D’Haese made completely different works in metal.

Lamps in the movies!
A Maison Jansen palm tree wall lamp appears in the Edouard Molinaro comedy film Oscar from 1967. A movie with French comedy actor Louis de Funès (1914-1983). Here together with a Raak Fuga wall lamp and a Raak pendant lamp. Several other lamps by Raak Amsterdam, Artemide, and others.
A Maison Jansen palm tree floor lamp was used as a prop in the Dutch movie De Heineken Ontvoering (The Heineken Kidnapping) from 2011, with Rutger Hauer as Freddy Heineken. Not to be confused with the American film Kidnapping Mr. Heineken with Anthony Hopkins from 2015. Below you can watch the complete movie with many designer lamps. Mr. Heineken was kidnapped in 1983. The shell table lamps in this picture are designed by Gabriella Crespi.
