AFTER THE MODEL BY ANTOINE-ANDRÉ RAVRIO, BY HENRY DASSON, PARIS, DATED 1893

The model for the present wall-appliques derives from a pair originally supplied on 18 May 1805 for the dining-room at the Petit Trianon by the bronzier-doreur, Antoine-André Ravrio. In July of the same year the same pair were moved to Fontainbleau and hung in Empress Eugènie's dining-room. A pair of appliques of this same model were sold in the 'Vente H. Dasson & Cie.', Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 10-12 December 1894, lot 88, 1,080 francs.
