Description

This elegant French porcelain trinket box is adorned with bronze mountings and decorated with Chinoiserie-style enamel paintings. The porcelain body is hand-painted, featuring motifs of Chinese peony flowers alongside insects. These decorative elements reflect a distinct aesthetic that was especially popular in the late 19th century.

The inkwell was crafted by Samson of Paris during the late 19th century and is marked on the bottom with an Edme Samson scroll mark, ensuring its authenticity and origin.

Dimensions:
• Width: 3.50 inches
• Height: 3.50 inches with finial

Condition:
The inkwell remains in very good antique condition. There is a hairline crack present on the lid (refer to photos), and some wear is visible on the gilt decoration of the finial. Please review all accompanying photos, as they form an important part of this item’s description.
