Samson Iznik-Style Antique Table Lamp – Edmé

€2,500.00
sold out

Meet Edmé, a one-of-a-kind table lamp lovingly handcrafted from an antique Samson vase, dating to the late 19th century. Renowned for their exquisite reproductions, Samson & Cie of Paris created this vase as a tribute to the celebrated Iznik pottery of the Ottoman Empire. The baluster form, adorned with delicate handles, is richly decorated with saz leaves, hatayi flowers, and carnations in vibrant shades of blue, red, and green. These motifs, inspired by 16th-century Iznik designs, reflect the refined tastes of Western collectors of the 19th century. This particular piece is modeled after an original in the Royal Italian Collection, which was also reproduced on a larger scale by Ulisse Cantagalli, adding further historical depth to its narrative.

Edmé is paired with a custom, pleated silk lampshade in a burnished terracotta hue, handmade in an atelier near Amsterdam. The shade creates a warm, inviting glow that beautifully complements the rich tones of the vase, while a sage green cord adds a harmonious finishing touch. Each detail, from the ornate floral patterns to the artisanal craftsmanship of the lampshade, makes this lamp a timeless statement of historical beauty and refinement.

Height: 48 cm (19 in) with lampshade
Diameter: 35cm (14 in) with lampshade

Samson & Cie, founded in Paris in 1845 by Edmé Samson, became one of Europe’s foremost manufacturers of high-quality reproductions of antique ceramics. Specializing in the creation of replicas inspired by designs from prestigious collections, including Iznik, Chinese, and European pottery, Samson’s works were often celebrated for their meticulous craftsmanship and attention to historical detail.

Unlike mere counterfeits, Samson pieces were created to honor and preserve ceramic artistry, often incorporating subtle marks or distinctions to differentiate them from originals. The vase used in this lamp reflects Samson’s dedication to excellence. Its design is a refined interpretation of 16th-century Iznik pottery, a style that captivated Western collectors and connoisseurs during the 19th century for its intricate patterns and vibrant colors.

Today, Samson ceramics, once produced as “high-quality homages,” are themselves treasured as antiques, embodying a legacy of craftsmanship that bridges cultures and centuries.
