A pair of exquisite early 20th-century Samson Armorial jar lamps, crafted in the Chinese Export Famille Rose style, are adorned with the Great Seal of the State of Maryland on both sides. The porcelain bodies are intricately hand-painted with delicate pastel shades, gilded accents, and the elaborate heraldic motif. Each lamp is mounted on a circular wooden base with double lamp sockets, showcasing exceptional condition and period-appropriate hardware. Samson Armorial refers to finely hand-painted porcelain produced by the renowned French firm Edmé Samson et Cie. This firm is celebrated for its elaborate coats of arms and heraldic designs, often executed in the spirit of 18th-century Chinese Export porcelain or European royal wares. These pieces are celebrated for their meticulous artistry, subtle shading, and lavish gilding. Chinese Export Famille Rose is a vibrant decorative tradition that gained popularity from the 18th century. It is characterized by soft pink and rose hues created from an opaque enamel, complemented by complementary pastels (greens, blues, yellows), detailed figures, floral reserves such as Rose Medallion motifs, gilt highlights, and painting techniques that emphasize nuanced shading and outlined leaves. These techniques distinguish Chinese Export Famille Rose from earlier Chinese porcelain styles.

Dimensions: 37 inches Tall with a shade diameter of 20 inches. Famille jaune, noire, rose, verte are terms used in the West to classify Chinese porcelain of the Qing dynasty by the dominant colour of its enamel palette. These wares were initially grouped under the French names of famille verte (“green family”), and famille rose (pink family) by Albert Jacquemart in 1862. The other terms famille jaune (yellow) and famille noire (black) may have been introduced later by dealers or collectors and they are generally considered subcategories of famille verte.[1][2]Famille verte porcelain was produced mainly during the Kangxi era, while famille rose porcelain was popular in the 18th and 19th century. Much of the Chinese production was Jingdezhen porcelain, and a large proportion were made for export to the West, but some of the finest were made for the Imperial court. Famille verte (????, Kangxi wucai...
