A handsome pair of Royal Crown Derby candlesticks in the celebrated Old Imari 1128 pattern – the factory’s signature cobalt-blue, iron-red, and richly raised gold on fine English bone china. Tall faceted columns on scrolled square bases rise to fluted, scallop-edged sconces, every panel densely hand-decorated in the classic Imari manner. Royal Crown Derby English Bone China, pattern 1128. With date cyphers for 1986 and 1988. Maker: Royal Crown Derby, England. Pattern: Old Imari 1128. Date codes: XLIX (1986) and LI (1988). Please read – condition / alteration: At some point this pair was drilled and fitted with brass hardware for use as table lamps. There is a bored channel through the center and a brass collar in the underside of each base; the candle cups contain old filler/residue. Gilding remains bright with light high-point wear; no chips or cracks noted beyond the drilling described. Study all photos, including the base and cup close-ups – they are part of the description.
