A Rare Spode Porcelain Candlestick Decorated in Pattern 1166 C.1815

19th century
Description

A rare Spode porcelain Candlestick decorated in pattern 1166 c.1815. Spode’s pattern number 1166 was introduced circa 1806 and was one of the most sumptuous designs produced by Spode. Pattern 1166 was first recorded in about 1808. The pattern is ground laid in cobalt blue, hand painted and gilded on Spode's pure white bone china. It is gilded and painted entirely by hand. The combination of cobalt blue and gold is one of the most expensive in ceramic decoration as it is produced with 2 of the most expensive raw materials. This extravagance, coupled with these gorgeous flowers, makes this design one of the most magnificent to come out of the Spode factory. Marked 1166 in red to the base. 

This shape of Candlestick appears in the Spode 1820 Shape Book described as ''181 -  French Flat Candlestick. 4 and 5in.''

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Chambersticks were designed as portable light sources with a broad dish base to catch wax drippings and a side handle for carrying candles between rooms. During the English Regency era, manufacturers like Spode produced elaborately decorated ceramic examples featuring heavy gilding and intricate overglaze enamelling.

These items were crafted from fine bone china or soft-paste porcelain, painted with metallic gold leaf gilding and mineral-based enamel pigments, and finished with a clear lead glaze.

Authentic period pieces typically feature painted or impressed factory marks on the underside, alongside hand-written four-digit pattern numbers. The quality of the hand painting, weight of the porcelain body, and style of gilding also help verify period manufacture.

An antique porcelain chamberstick works well as a focal accent on a fireplace mantelpiece, atop a stack of hardback books on a console table, or as part of a curated vignette on a dining sideboard.

Clean the porcelain gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive polish, harsh chemical cleansers, or immersion in warm water, as these can strip overglaze enamel paint and original gilding.
