About the Item
A Very Rare and Highly Unique Pair of French Ormolu Mounted Blue Porcelain Candelabras, Att. Henry Dasson. Presenting a truly exquisite pair of French Porcelain Ormolu Mounted Candelabras. Henry Dasson is renowned for his exceptional bronze sculptures and acclaimed for the remarkable quality of his bronze work, particularly in the art of chiseling. At the 1878 and 1889 Paris Expositions Universelles, Dasson exhibited a number of pieces in the Louis XV and XVI styles, as well as pieces of his own modified eighteenth-century design. These candelabras boast a seamless fusion of porcelain with Ormolu bronze mounts, meticulously hand-painted to showcase captivating motifs. The combination of a matte and burnished gold finish adds to their allure, exemplifying the artisan's meticulous attention to detail and superb craftsmanship. Each candelabra holds six candles, with gracefully curled arms adorned with foliate supporting the lower three, while the ends resemble the heads of birds of prey, lending a realistic touch to the overall design.
A captivating feature lies in the highly detailed finely carved mythical creatures and vegetation that is thoughtfully placed about the candelabras, On the upper body horned and bearded male masks proudly adorn the candelabra necks. Very fine grape vines and tendrils drop down from these masks, adding a touch of whimsy and intrigue. Adorning the lower body are wonderful lion-faced male masks with wings. At the pinnacle of each candelabra, a captivating ensemble of hand-carved Ormolu bronze summer vegetables and foliage adds a sweet and inviting touch.
Finely chiseled Ormolu bronze feathers form upturned groupings that create a sturdy pedestal, securely holding the deep cobalt blue porcelain bodies. The candelabra pedestals extend further down to plinths that rest on legs sculpted in the regal form of sphinxes, featuring feminine upper bodies adorned with braids and delicate facial features. Above the plinths, a band takes the form of a wheat wreath with berries, while the plinth itself boasts exquisite relief work depicting tiny grape vines. The elegant tails of the sphinxes gracefully curl out of sight under the base of the candelabra plinths, while finely carved wings showcase the artisans' remarkable skill. An ode to the artisan's pride in their work, each sphinx is marked with makers' dots underneath their paws. Every intricate detail, including the delicately crafted claws, exudes a level of sophistication that truly sets these candelabras apart. The craftsmanship is undeniably extraordinary. Their round bulbous flask-shaped deep cobalt blue porcelain bodies are meticulously adorned with a collection of finely carved ormolu foliate and mythical creatures, creating a captivating and fabulous display.
