Object Description
A rare and fine quality pair of 19th Century gilded ormolu, patinated bronze cherubs, each holding a three branch scrolling foliate candelabra with floral sconces, raised on these wondereful Porphyry pedestal bases with ormolu swag mounts. Attributed to ‘Henry Dasson’
Henry Dasson was a renowned nineteenth century Parisian maker of gilt-bronze mounted furniture. Unlike other cabinetmakers of the time Dasson began his career as a bronze sculptor, and consequently one characteristic of his work is the quality of his bronze and more precisely of the chiselling.
