Henry Dasson was one of the most gifted makers of gilt bronzes for furniture in the 19th century. Unlike other cabinetmakers of the time, Dasson began his career as a bronze chaser, as evidenced by the quality bronze work on later furniture. For the design of the Rococo-style candelabras on offer, Dasson was inspired by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750), Louis XV's court draftsman (Cf. Ottomeyer/Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Vol. I, Munich, 1986; pp. 105/106 for designs by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier).
