A French Ormolu Mounted mahogany Bonheur Du Jour, attributed to Henry Dasson, circa 1870.
Very fine quality French ormolu mounts throughout, with marble top, two doors revealing two shelves, a sliding drawer and a galley.
Although unsigned, this piece is most definitely done by Henry Dasson. The quality of the ormolu mounts, and the design of the cabinet is identical to similar bonheurs done by the firm.
