About the Item

A Marvelous Pair of 19th Century Louis XVI Style French Dore Bronze Mounted White Carrara Marble Covered Urns/Covered vases, attributed to Henry Dasson. Each vase is beautifully hand-made with hand-carved Carrara marble bodies with fluted marble tops which rest on waisted marble bases. Flanked on either end of the vases are two gorgeously cast dore bronze maidens with hooved feet holding a ring of garlands in their hands. Around the middle bodies of the vases are bands of dore bronze mounts decorated with many cupids dancing and flying around together, each hand-chased, hand-chiseled, and further matted for a three-dimensional design of absolutely perfect quality. Flanked on either end of each vase, under the hooves of the maidens are dore bronze satyr masks, each exceptionally hand-chassed, hand-chiseled, and matted with pronounced detail. The marble body is mounted on an acanthus leaf and grape dore bronze base. The bottom of the vases are mounted on a rounded dore bronze acanthus leaf wreath, which is resting on a square dore bronze plinth. The tops are gorgeously cast out of dore bronze and are decorated with leaves and flowers. France, Circa: 1870 Henri Dasson (1825-1896) established his workshop at 106, rue Vielle du Temple, after a brief career at rue des Nonnains-d’ Hières in the fabrication of bronze artifacts and clocks in association with Emile Godeau. A gifted draftsman, Dasson studied under Justin Marie Lequien, professor at the École Superieur Turgot. In 1871, he bought the workshop and stock for 14,000 francs from the widow of the ébéniste Charles-Guillaume Winckelsen, and soon became recognized as a brilliant ébéniste and bronzier. Specializing mostly in the production of works from the Garde Meuble National, he participated in the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle prompting critic Louis Gonse to comment: ‘nouveau venu dans la carrière industrielle, Henri Dasson s'est rapidement crée par la perfection de ses oeuvres une très haute situation à laquelle nous applaudissons chaleureusement.’ He was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 1883 and was awarded the Grand Prix Artistique at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle. When the business closed in 1894, an auction was organized to clear the remainder of his stock.
