Description
Large pair of antique ormolu mounted Samson porcelain vases
French, Late 19th Century
Height 57cm, diameter 24cm
Wonderfully crafted by Samson et Cie in the late 19th century, the superb pair of vases celebrates both Eastern and Western design styles.
The rich blue ground porcelain is expertly painted in gold with a selection of nature inspired designs. Flowers and foliage are flowing around the circumference of each vase and a wooden construction can be observed in the lower half of each illustration. Topping each antique is a porcelain lid, adorned in an identical way to the vase bodies. These are surmounted by an ornate ormolu finial cast in the shape of fruits and flowers.
Four lion paw feet topped by acanthus leaf detailing and a garland design support the eye-catching vases.
The reverse of the vases is marked with the blue Samson mark in addition to other markings.
Showcasing a European interpretation of Chinese art as well as high quality French craftsmanship, this pair of vases would make an outstanding addition to one's collection. -
