Gilt Bronze Art Nouveau Urn Centrepiece Vase After Henry Dasson

A mid to late 20th century gilt bronze ornamental urn, made after the designs of Henry Dasson, and stamped “Henry Dasson” to the front of the base. The urn is of trophy form, with a bronze body and gilt bronze mounts, and is designed as a decorative sculptural vase or centrepiece. The piece features elaborate floral handles in the Art Nouveau taste, each surmounted by a ho-ho bird, with flowing naturalistic forms typical of decorative revival pieces inspired by 19th century French design. The scale and weight give it strong presence, making it suitable as a centrepiece or decorative focal object within a traditional or eclectic interior.
