This wonderful antique bureau for partisans is after the well known model by Charles Cressent of which the most famous example is in the Salon Doré at the Elysée Palace in Paris - where it is used by each President of France. Another one with a carton box was sold from the first sell in 1749 and again in the second sale in 1757 before entering the collection of the duck Richelieu before selling lastly, in 1788, to Lord Willoughby in London and passing by descent to Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire, where it remains. A third example, which formally belonged to the Princess Trivulzio and later to Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild and is today in the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon.
Of relevance, the President’s bureau at Elysée Palace was exhibited at the retrospective exposition of the Central Union, Paris, in 1882. It was probably at this exhibition that Dasson saw it and gained permission to make the drawings and clay presses needed for him to replicate the model.
Henry Dasson (d. 1896) specialized in reproducing a wide range of furniture and high quality art objects in the style of Louis XIV, XV and XVI, often directly copying known pieces. He produced an impressive range of pieces for the Paris Expositions from 1878 until 1895.
