Superb Quality 19thc Ormolu & Ebonised Bracket, Attributed to Henri Dasson (1825 - 1896)

19th century
Description

A highly decorative 19th century ormolu and ebonised wall bracket of exceptionally fine quality, attributed to Henri Dasson (1825 - 1896).

The bracket which is of scroll shape and believed to be one from a set of four, it is made from oak and veneered with ebony and has the finest quality mercury gilded bronze mounts, the ormolu being of exceptional quality.

To the top is an ormolu moulding of egg and dart design leading down to a superbly cast central face of a grotesque, Bacchic mask with oak leaves as hair with floral ormolu decoration to either side.

This leads down to a fine quality ormolu floral and ribbon design, the bracket has a wide brass stringing to the outer edge for additional decoration.

This piece is in excellent condition and can go straight into a home.

Henri Dasson produced fine quality pieces in the mid-late 19th century, a similar bracket can be found in the book: '19thc European Furniture' by Christopher Payne - Page 291, plate 939.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

19th-century French wall brackets from the Napoleon III period often feature high-contrast combinations of ebonised wood and finely cast gilt bronze (ormolu). Design elements frequently reference 17th- and 18th-century classical motifs, such as satyr masks, acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and brass stringing inlays.

These pieces were typically constructed from a dense hardwood carcass, coated in a deep black ebonised finish or veneer. Decorative mounts were created using mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu) that was hand-chased after casting to achieve intricate crispness in detail.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy gilt bronze mounts with fine tool marks from hand chasing on the relief surfaces. Look for foundry marks, maker signatures such as Henri Dasson, threaded steel or brass fixings on the reverse, and precise joinery along the wooden frame.

A decorative wall bracket can be mounted on a narrow accent wall, in an entry hall, or above a sideboard to display a small sculpture, vase, or bracket clock. Its dark finish and gilded details create an anchor point when placed against neutral or saturated paint backgrounds.

Dust the item regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a fine brush to clear crevices. Avoid chemical polishes, abrasive liquids, or solvents on the ormolu, as these can strip the historical gilding; clean wood sections with specialist beeswax polish applied sparingly.
