Henry Dasson
Paris 10.05.1825 — Saint-Germain-en-Laye 20.05.1896
Henry Dasson was a renowned nineteenth century Parisian maker of gilt-bronze mounted furniture. Unlike other cabinetmakers of the time Dasson began his career as a bronze sculptor, and consequently one characteristic of his work is the quality of his bronze and more precisely of the chiselling.
He specialised in the production of Louis XIV, XV and XVI style furniture using the finest gilt-bronze mounts.
