Pair of Samson de Paris porcelain candlesticks – Mid-20th century An elegant pair of two-light candlesticks in polychrome and gilded porcelain from the Samson de Paris manufactory, dating from the mid-20th century. The circular bases and shaped shafts are finely hand-decorated with delicate polychrome floral motifs, small blue geometric ornaments, and rich gold accents, in the style of the “Famille Rose” oriental porcelain. Particularly charming are the four porcelain candle holders, shaped like tulip buds, with petals painted in shades of purple-pink, green, and gold. The sinuous two-light arms are made of brass and lend the pair an elegant and harmonious appearance. The bottom of the bases bears the characteristic red mark associated with the Samson manufactory in Paris. A refined pair of decorative objects, particularly well-suited to enhancing a console table, a mantelpiece, or a room furnished with antique furniture. Period: mid-20th century. Manufacturer: Samson, Paris. Materials: polychrome and gilded porcelain, brass. Height: 24.5 cm. Origin: France.
