Henry Dasson (1825-1896), the celebrated Parisian bniste and bronzier had workshops at 106, rue Vieille-du-Temple and specialised in the production of Louis XIV, XV and XVI style furniture.
In 1871, he bought the workshop and stock from the widow of Charles-Guillaume Winckelsen, who had established a reputation for furniture of the finest quality. Dasson continued with this acclaim and exhibited at both the 1878 and 1889 Paris Expositions Universelles.
