Henri Dasson Marble and Bronze Urns
About the Item
Henri Dasson made his mark as a Parisian cabinet-maker early in his career and garnered favor with the most important figures in the French aristocracy. The wife of Emperor Napoleon III, Empress Eugenie, made Dasson her personal cabinetmaker. Like so many others, Eugenie was so impressed by Dasson's skill and refinement that she commissioned numerous pieces to adorn her royal residences. Indeed, Dasson reflected on the designs of the 18th century and was able to vastly improve upon the methods in which those designs were created. Using more sophisticated tools, Dasson became renowned for his magnificent and technically superior dore bronze work.
