FAQs

Samson et Cie was a Parisian ceramic factory established in the 19th century, renowned for producing high-quality replicas and interpretations of historic porcelain and pottery styles from various cultures and eras.

These pieces are typically crafted from hard-paste porcelain, finished with hand-painted overglaze enamel decoration, and often mounted on cast brass or gilt bronze bases.

Authentic pieces frequently bear Samson pseudo-marks imitating earlier Chinese, Meissen, or Chelsea marks, alongside subtle stylistic indicators characteristic of 19th-century French manufacturing techniques.

Pair them with simple, neutral linen shades to balance their ornate patterns, placing them on sideboards or consoles to introduce texture, colour, and historical character to contemporary spaces.

Clean the porcelain gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the hand-painted enamel, and have the electrical wiring professionally tested and updated for safety.
