This pair of Georgian Derby porcelain candlesticks dates from c.1825–1830 in the Rococo Revival style. Each piece incorporates a white glazed body adorned with hand-painted floral sprays including small roses and soft blue touches, framed by warm original gilding. The design includes a shaped candle cup, a pierced stem with prominent C-scrolls, and a broad, scroll-moulded base showing minor gilding wear. Each candlestick measures 16.3 cm high, 10.7 cm wide, and 10.7 cm deep. These decorative items suit placement on a mantelpiece in a traditional interior. They provide a functional lighting display while adding period character to a living room or dining area.

FAQs

Positioning them symmetrically on a mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard top introduces structural height, rich texture, and historical contrast within contemporary or traditional spaces.

Clean gently using a soft, dry brush or a microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion, chemical detergents, and abrasive cloths that can strip or scratch original gilding and enamel work.

Authentic pieces often feature factory marks on the underside, such as the printed red crown mark from the Bloor Derby period, along with fine hand-painted enamels and age-appropriate wear to the gilding.

These items were crafted from bone china or soft-paste porcelain, finished with an overglaze, hand-painted enamel floral decoration, and mercury gilding.

Rococo revival porcelain from the late Georgian and Regency periods features asymmetrical scrollwork, gilded C-scroll mouldings, pierced stems, and hand-painted botanical sprays.
