Samson et Cie was a Parisian firm established in the 19th century that specialised in reproducing high-quality ceramics, figures, and armorial porcelain from earlier historic factories such as Meissen, Chelsea, and Derby.

These items are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, typically shaped using traditional mould-casting techniques, and hand-painted in polychrome enamels with gilt accents.

Authentication relies on examining the paste, glaze quality, painting style, and specific marks. Samson pieces frequently feature crossed swords, gold anchors, or pseudonyms mimicking earlier factories, alongside their distinct S monogram.

They can be displayed on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard as sculptural accent pieces, bringing colour, texture, and historical interest to contemporary or eclectic spaces.

Antique porcelain should be cleaned gently using a soft, dry brush or a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, and direct sunlight to protect the enamel and gilding.
