PROPERTY FROM A NOBLE COLLECTION (LOTS 430-431)
Henry Dasson (d. 1896), the celebrated Parisian ébéniste and bronzier had workshops at 106, rue Vieille du Temple, and specialised in the production of ancien régime style furniture and objects, either making direct copies, or re-interpreting the original models. In 1871, he purchased the workshop and stock from the widow of Charles-Guillaume Winckelsen, who had established a reputation for furniture of the highest quality. Dasson's highly successful business continued until 1894, when a sale of his remaining inventory was held.
