Description

This is a very pretty pair of porcelain table lamps in the Chinese taste, by Samson of Paris dating from around 1920. The lamps have beautiful hand painted decoration in famille rose colours of chrysanthemums and prunus and are mounted on gilt metal bases with attractive chinoiserie designs to them. In excellent condition, the urns have no breaks or restoration at all. These come with a pair of new attractive pleated silk shades. The lamps have been rewired to modern standards with braided cables to suit the age and style. They stand 50 cms high overall with shades and are 18 cms in diameter, with the shades being 35 cms in diameter. The bases are in a very decorative bronzed metal with typical Chinese rural and mountain scenes and pierced fretwork detail. They measure 16 cms square.

Rare to find in such excellent condition.

FAQs

Samson et Cie was a Parisian ceramics manufacturer established in the 19th century, famous for producing high-quality reproductions and interpretations of historic European and Asian porcelain styles, including Chinese Famille Rose wares.

These items are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, hand-thrown and finished with overglaze polychrome enamels, often incorporating gilded highlights typical of the traditional palette.

Authentication relies on examining the paste, the quality of hand-painting, and specific imitation marks often found on the base, which imitate earlier Chinese or European factories without intending to deceive contemporary collectors.

They serve as statement accent pieces on sideboards or consoles, introducing pattern, colour, and historical texture to neutral or contemporary room schemes.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or submersion in water to protect the delicate hand-painted enamel and gilt details.
