Henri Dasson (1825-1896) established his business at 106, Rue Vieille-du-
Temple, Paris. He was renowned for the exceptional standard of the ormolu
mounts that he used. He exhibited pieces at the Expositions Universelles in
1878 and 1889, when he received a Grand Prix Artistique for his display.

Chow collection was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 25 November 1980, lot
