Prosper (I) Cabasse

Mirecourt, worked 1782–1810

Some narrow high-arched examples, but other flatter more classical models. Only average quality workmanship, with a rather trade-like quality. Light brown-orange varnish. Triangular brand: ‘Cabasse à Paris’ Imitation work with similar brand appears as late as 1864. — John Dilworth
