Pr French 19th C. Dore Bronze Mntd Green Marble/Porphyry Lamps, Att. H. Dasson

About the Item

A fantastic and quite large pair of French Louis XVI style dore bronze mounted green marble or possibly Greenish/Grey Porphyry Pot-Pourri vases mounted as lamps, attributed to Henry Dasson. The bronze mounts are fabulously cast, hand-chiseled, and hand-chased with the finest possible detail, and finished with a two-tone matte and burnished finish. The top mount is cast with an oval open-work filigree design, which could signify these as being potpourris at one point. Flanked on either side are circular dore bronze handles with an acanthus leaf form, which extends downwards onto the body of the lamps into a widened acanthus leaf. The stone bodies are mounted on waisted dore bronze bases, which consist of a circular swirling dore bronze lower mount. These all sit on a square stone plinth, beautifully polished and hand-carved. They have not been taken apart to be checked for a signature, however, there may be one underneath one of the bronze mounts. The harp and light height is adjustable. France, Circa: 1880.
