FAQs

Established in Paris during the 19th century, Samson et Cie specialised in producing high-quality replicas and interpretations of historic European and Asian ceramics and works of art, often marked with simulated historical marks.

These decorative items typically combine fire-gilded bronze, often referred to as ormolu, with hand-painted hard-paste porcelain bases and intricate metal branch formations.

Authentic pieces are generally identified by stylistic execution, the quality of the hand-painting, and specific Samson baseline marks, which often playfully imitate earlier Meissen, Chelsea, or Chinese export motifs without intending to deceive modern experts.

They make striking focal points when placed upon a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or console table, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist surroundings.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical polishes, abrasive cleaners, or water on gilded surfaces and hand-painted porcelain to prevent loss of finish.
