Description

A pair of antique porcelain candlesticks produced in the Dresden workshop of Karl Richard Klemm around 1895. Marked beneath with the underglaze crowned “RK Dresden” monogram, officially registered in 1888. Each piece is hand-painted with floral sprigs and enriched with finely executed gilded scrollwork over a white ground. The base and collar feature the distinctive green “fishnet” motif, outlined with gold and trimmed with a gilt lattice border — characteristic of Dresden Neoclassical revival taste. These candlesticks reflect the high craftsmanship of the period and are notable for their balance of elegance and restraint. Works by Karl Richard Klemm are widely recognized among collectors for their quality and artistic merit.

Condition: One tiny, barely noticeable chip on the base of one candlestick. Otherwise, excellent antique condition – complete preservation of paints, enamel, and gilding.

FAQs

Dresden porcelain refers to ceramic items produced in or decorated around Dresden, Germany, gaining significant prominence during the 19th century through various independent decorating studios and factories.

These pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, characterised by high-firing temperatures, hand-painted polychrome enamel details, and frequently applied gilded accents.

Authenticity is typically determined through underglaze factory marks, hand-painted brushwork details, natural wear to the gilding, and the weight and translucency of the paste.

They can be positioned on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table to introduce traditional colour, texture, and historical contrast to a contemporary scheme.

Antique porcelain should be cleaned manually using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive materials or ultrasonic cleaners to protect hand-painted enamels and gold leaf.
