Crafted by the renowned Parisian firm Edmé Samson et Cie, this complementary pair depicts a courtly gentleman—styled as a cavalier holding a gilded cross—and an elegantly posed lady in a floral gown.

Known for their masterful 19th-century reproductions of 18th-century museum masterpieces, Samson pieces are highly collectible for their crisp molding, vibrant glazes, and masterful hand-painted details.

Adding to their distinct historical charm, the undersides bear the red overglaze script for the legendary luxury department store B. Altman & Co. on Fifth Avenue, alongside Samson’s signature blue underglaze pseudo-Meissen crossed-swords mark. This provenance dates the pair from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, when they were imported as premier decorative art objects for wealthy American estates. A perfect, sophisticated addition to a grandmillennial mantel, étagère, or traditional library.
