Late 19th Century Sevres Style Exceptional Samson Dressing Table Box

About the Item

Presenting an absolutely gorgeous late 19th century Sevres style exceptional samson dressing table box. This is a large tabletop box of the highest quality. Made by Samson of Paris in the style of Sevres. It sits on 4 exceptionally detailed Griffin feet with hand painted floral panels on all sides. The top or lid panel is simply exceptional! It features a pastoral scene of male and female courtesans in 18th century period attire in a garden setting with trees, grass, birds, an elaborate fish water fountain, archaic pillar/column, a pond and swans. In the background is a town or city and Romanesque ruins. We are of the opinion that Based Upon the style of the attire and the architecture that this is an Italian scene, possibly Rome or Florence. The lid is hinged and opens to reveal a padded golden silk interior. The entire piece is mounted on highly chased and decorated gold ormolu mounts and banding with a central Rococo style clasp to the front with triple plumed feathers to the top. In amazing original condition. The ormolu has been re-gilded. 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 used by royalty in the 1700s, but he was turning it into an item the current populous needed, an elegant box to hold their new love’s trinkets. And if it looked as if it had belonged to a Knight or Royalty, all the better. It has a ‘Sevres’ style mark on the base of an ‘S’ inside two interlocking “L’s” … but this is not a Sevres mark and therefore is almost certainly by Edme Samson. You will not find another!!
