This pair of candlesticks, crafted by the Derby Porcelain Manufactory between 1751 and 1761, exhibits the Rococo style prevalent during the mid-18th century. The porcelain figures, possibly representing Chinese children, display a playful, whimsical nature, a characteristic of the period. The intricate floral patterns and flowing lines of the candlesticks, combined with the delicate figures, are a testament to the skill of the Derby Porcelain Manufactory and the allure of Rococo design.
