He began his career by making service and set piece replacements in the late 1830s. In 1845 he opened the ceramics firm Samson, Edmé et Cie at 7, Rue Vendôme (later Rue Béranger) in Paris. During the 19th century, the collectors' market for antique Fine china was considerable, and Samson’s firm reproduced ceramics including the early Qing dynasty Famille Rose Chinese porcelains. The firm exhibited at the International Exposition (1867) and the Exposition Universelle (1889).
