About the Item
A Fine Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze and Black and Gilt Japanese Lacquer Mounted Mahogany and Bois Satiné Bonheur du Jour, By Henry Dasson.
The upper structure faced with three lacquer panels to the front and one to each side. The raised and gilt maki-e lacquer depicting temples and lakeside rock gardens. The hinged doors enclosing shelves and compartments. The spring release frieze drawer with leather-lined writing slide. The flared and fluted columnar legs joined by a platform stretcher with three-quarter gallery surround and decorated in Nishihi lacquer surface.
Signed and dated 'henry Dasson 1879.'
France, Dated 1879.
This writing desk by Henry Dasson is inspired by Louis XVI period examples executed by Adam Weisweiler in the 1780s such as an example with Wedgwood panels in the Getty Museum (inv. No. 72.DA). In the nineteenth century the model was revived by Winckelsen and continued by his successor, Henry Dasson, who made variations employing precious timbers such as burr-amboyna and, as here, Japanese lacquer. The present bonheur du jour, signed and dated 'henry Dasson 1879’ is a larger example of the type and features especially refined gilt and raised lacquer work. As to be expected of Dasson’s work, the quality of the construction and overall perfection of finish is second to none.
Literature:
P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, p. 910, for illustrations of a similar 18th century model by Weisweiler.
