About the Item

French cabinet in a curved shape with a cupboard base and nine drawers. It is adorned with tulipwood and kingwood inlay veneers, and ormolu mounts. A pill-out slide is covered with teal velvet. The drawers are decorated with colorful marbled paper inside, and the faces are made of gilt-stamped leather. Marked with a stamp on mount verso: 'HD' as well as two signatures at the cabinet verso, stating: "Henry Dasson." Henry Dasson (1825-1896) was a renowned nineteenth-century designer of gilt-bronze mounted furniture. Unlike most cabinetmakers of the time, Dasson began his career as a bronze sculptor as a result, one of the distinguishing features of his work is the high quality of his bronze and, more specifically, the chiselling. Dasson displayed a variety of works in the Louis XV and XVI styles, as well as pieces of his own modified eighteenth-century design, in the Paris Expositions Universelles in 1878 and 1889.
