19th Century, German Porcelain Horse Drawn Sedan Chair & Riders by Samson & Cie

About the Item

This charming 19th-century porcelain figurine group, created by Samson & Cie of Paris, captures the elegance and whimsy of 18th-century European decorative arts. The scene features an ornate carriage drawn by two finely detailed horses, each ridden by figures dressed in period attire. The riders, with their tri-corner hats and tailored coats, bring a sense of movement and sophistication to the piece. The carriage itself is beautifully adorned with hand-painted floral motifs and highlighted with delicate gilded accents, showcasing Samson’s skill in replicating the refined style of earlier porcelain masters such as Meissen and Sèvres. The soft pastel colors and fine detailing reflect the Rococo influences that inspired much of Samson's work. Set on a sculpted base designed to resemble natural terrain, the piece has a lively, storybook quality that draws the viewer into its world. Samson was known for producing high-quality pieces that paid homage to the grandeur of 18th-century porcelain, and this figurine group is an excellent example of their craftsmanship.

19th Century Samson Paris Porcelain Trinket Box
By Samson & Cie
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting 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...
