Catalogue note
Henri Dasson (1825-1896), 106 rue Vielle-du-Temple.
Henri Dasson established his business at 106, Rue Vieille-du-Temple, Paris. He was renowned for the exceptional standard of the ormolu mounts that he used which had a high quality of mercurial gilding. He specialized in copies of Louis XIV, XV and XVI furniture, but he also manipulated 18th century designs to his own taste.
He exhibited pieces at the Expositions Universelles in 1878 and 1889, when he received a Grand Prix Artistique for his display. His signature was always anglicized as 'Henry Dasson'.
The present candelabra are based on the celebrated model delivered circa 1785 by Foucou.
Jean-Joseph Foucou was born at Riez, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. A student at the École de peinture et de sculpture of Marseille, he went to Paris, where he entered the workshop of Jean-Jacques Caffieri. In 1769 he won the Prix de Rome in sculpture, and entered the ecole royale des élèves Proteges in preparation for his residence in Rome, 1771-75. On his return to Paris he was accepted in 1777 at the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, where he was made a full member in 1785.
