COMPARATIVE LITERATURE
C. Mestdagh, L'Ameublement d'Art Français 1850-1900, Paris, 2010, p. 159

These large wall-lights are representative of the high quality bronze work for which Henry Dasson is famed. They are modelled with term figures of Zephir and Flora and reprise the French early 18th century model in the J. Paul Getty Museum (85.DF383.1-2).
