Large Polychrome Porcelain Jardinière By Edmé Samson, Late 19th Century

Important polychrome porcelain jardinière by Edmé Samson, late 19th century

Charming porcelain composition depicting two figures in the oriental taste, supporting a jardinière richly decorated with floral reserves and relief motifs.

This piece, characteristic of the productions of the House of Samson in Paris, is in the tradition of reinterpretations of 18th-century European and Oriental porcelain, highly prized at the end of the 19th century. The vivid, delicate polychrome decoration, combined with an animated, expressive composition, lends the ensemble a great decorative presence.

The finely modeled figures display lively, theatrical attitudes typical of the historicist taste of the period. The jardinière, with its floral decoration, harmoniously completes this scene, offering an ensemble that is both elegant and original.

The piece is signed under the base.

There are a few slight chips from use, notably on some flowers as well as on fingers at the back, minor flaws considering the age of the object and in no way altering its overall aesthetics or decorative quality.

An attractive and decorative piece, emblematic of Samson productions, ideal as a centerpiece or ornamental element.
