Worcester Style Plate Attributed to Edme Samson
£140.00 inc. tax
A stunningly hand decorated French hard paste cabinet plate attributed to Edme Samson somewhere in the mid 19th century.
It incorporates elements of 18th century Worcester design and decoration and has a Worcester "fret" mark which if original Worcester would date it to 1755-1775. So a 19th century homage to 18th century Worcester.
Samson 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, with the intention of supplying reproductions of ceramics on display in museums and private collections.
The factory was moved to Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis in 1864 by Samson’s son. The firm either drew inspiration from other factories, or directly copied their pieces.
18th-century designs from the factories of Meissen, Sèvres, Chelsea, Worcester and Derby were among the reproductions Samson, Edmé et Cie produced, as well as designs copied from other major European factories.
This plate is in fabulous condition with almost no gilt loss or ware. A delight, and an interesting plate to put amongst a collection or original Worcester, or a collection of Samson.
