Large hard-paste porcelain figural group by the Samson manufactory, made in the second half of the 19th century after an 18th-century Sèvres model, depicting “The Coronation of Venus by the Muses.”
The work celebrates the goddess of love at the center of the composition, surrounded by an elegant procession of Muses, each distinguished by specific gestures and iconographic attributes.
The impressed Samson manufactory mark is visible on the back edge, renowned for its high-quality reproductions of masterpieces from major 18th-century European factories such as Meissen, Sèvres, and Vincennes.
A collectible piece that exemplifies the refined Neoclassical aesthetic and the artistry of historical French porcelain.
