BY HENRY DASSON, DATED 1888

The design of this fine quality pair of wall appliques cors de chasse, by Henry Dasson, closely relates to that of the set of four supplied at a cost of 2,960 livres for the Grand Salon at the Petit Trianon, Versailles, by the bronzier Claude Galle on 23 December 1809 (see D. Ledoux-Lebard, Versailles, Le Petit Trianon - Le mobilier des inventaires de 1807, 1810 et 1839, Paris, 1989, pp 97-98).
