A pair of exquisite early 20th-century Samson Armorial jar lamps, crafted in the Chinese Export Famille Rose style, are adorned with the Great Seal of the State of Maryland on both sides. The porcelain bodies are intricately hand-painted with delicate pastel shades, gilded accents, and the elaborate heraldic motif. Each lamp is mounted on a circular wooden base with double lamp sockets, showcasing exceptional condition and period-appropriate hardware.

This firm is celebrated for its elaborate coats of arms and heraldic designs, often executed in the spirit of 18th-century Chinese Export porcelain or European royal wares. These pieces are celebrated for their meticulous artistry, subtle shading, and lavish gilding.
