Set of Eight Samson Paris Porcelain Eagle Dinner Plates, 19th century
About the Item
Colorful and festive dinner plates each decorated with an imperial Russian double headed eagle in the center, enclosing a deep blue shield of St. George Slaying the Dragon, the symbol of Moscow, Russia's ancient capital. The outer border features crests of waves enhanced with cobalt blue bands and a rouge de der outer rim. This design has more to it however, as it recalls the Chinese export service ordered by Catherine the Great in the 18th century for the Russian imperial court.
Samson was an important French porcelain manufacturer founded in the 1860s in Paris by Edmé Samson that excelled in reproducing important porcelain services from around the world. The firm produced high-quality imitations of earlier styles of porcelain, mainly 18th-century European and Chinese and Japanese porcelain, but also earlier styles such as Italian maiolica.

- 19th Century Samson Paris Porcelain Trinket BoxBy Samson & CieLocated in Dallas, TXPresenting a gorgeous French 19th century Samson Paris Porcelain Trinket Box probably by Edme Samson. Marked on the base with “Made in France” and unmistakably in the style and manner of Samson. The lid features hand painted floral bouquets on an ivory porcelain background with gold edging, surrounded by a sky blue lid with gold web or crackling effect.. The lid is hinged and the lid and base are edged in floral gilt metal mounts with Fleur De Lis clasp. It sits on 4 gilt metal or ormolu feet. The sides are likewise hand decorated. This wonderful antique hand painted box is just bursting with History. Inspired by Edme Samson of Samson & Co., Paris. we believe (based upon the markings and natural aging) that it was made between 1880– 1890 in France and was meant to resemble an antique of a much earlier period. It is very similar to Sevres pieces with it’s color, decoration and design. Samson specialized in reproducing antiques from the 1600 and 1700s. One of his most interesting works was his Heraldic or Armorial pieces. With this medium sized box, he was not only copying the larger porcelain caskets or coffin boxes...Category
