Lot Essay

Henry Dasson (1825-1896) established his business at 106, Rue Vielle-du-Temple. He was renowned for the exceptional standard of the ormolu mounts that he used which had a high quality of mercurial gilding. He manipulated 18th century designs to his own taste. He exhibited pieces at the Expositions Universelles in 1878 and 1889, when he received a Grand Prix Artistique for his display.
