This exquisite ornamental vessel exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Henri Dasson, a renowned 19th-century Parisian bronzier and ébéniste known for his luxurious reinterpretations of Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. The vase is supported by a group of finely modeled putti—cherubic children symbolizing innocence and abundance—who struggle playfully to support the weight of the swirling, conch-like vessel.
The twisted form of the horn is rendered in silvered bronze with an interior gilt lining, drawing attention to the interplay of light and texture. The base, cut from polished granite, grounds the piece with both weight and contrast. This object blurs the line between sculpture and decorative art, speaking to the opulence of Belle Époque tastes.
Dimensions: 9.75" High 5.5" Diamater (Bowl), 4" Diamater(Base)
