Pair of Louis XVI Style Gilt Bronze and Granite Ewers by Henry Dasson
About the Item
An exquisite pair of French Louis XVI-style gilt bronze mounted granite ewers, created by the esteemed French ébéniste Henry Dasson (1825-1896), and stamped "HD" on each piece. Crafted in the last quarter of the 19th century in Paris, these ewers exemplify Dasson's mastery in merging elegance with meticulous attention to detail. The gilt bronze mounts offer a radiant contrast to the dark granite, beautifully highlighting the classical Louis XVI influence with intricate acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and floral motifs.
Renowned for his dedication to quality and perfection, Dasson’s work is highly sought after among collectors of fine 19th-century French decorative arts, making this pair a valuable addition to any collection.
Born in Paris during the reign of Charles X, Henry Dasson (1825-1896) trained and worked as a clockmaker and in 1871 purchased the stock and workshop of the recently deceased cabinetmaker Charles Winckelsen from his widow, becoming one of the leading producers of Louis XIV, XV and XVI revival pieces in Paris, specializing in high quality reproductions of important royal pieces. His background allowed him to distinguish himself from his contemporaries by also developing an important production in gilt bronze clocks, candelabra, wall lights and mounted marble and porcelain objects based on eighteenth-century designs. He often signed his work either with Henry Dasson et Cie or the stamp HD as found on the present lot. He was a regular exhibitor at the Paris Expositions Universelles and in 1883 received the Légion d’Honneur.
Dasson was particularly influenced by the work of the Louis XVI court bronzier Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813) and borrowed many of his ornamental motifs, such as the entwined snake handles that famously appear on several of Gouthière’s most celebrated works like the pair of large Celadon porcelain vases with mounts designed by the architect François-Joseph Bélanger commissioned by the Duc d’Aumont in 1782 (Paris, Louvre).
