A wonderfully decorative pair of 19th-century French porcelain candlesticks attributed to Samson, Edmé et Cie, the celebrated Parisian firm known for its faithful reproductions of earlier European porcelain. Each piece features a vibrant green parrot perched on a fruiting cherry tree, all set on a richly detailed Rococo-style gilt bronze base.
Hand-painted with great detail and finished in a high-gloss glaze, these candlesticks exude the ornate charm of the Rococo and Chinoiserie traditions. The underside bears a crowned shield mark with fleurs-de-lis, a motif commonly used by Samson to reference the prestigious Sèvres manufactory.
A truly eccentric and colourful addition to any interior—ideal for maximalist, eclectic, or period-inspired schemes.

Origin: France
