EARLY 19TH CENTURY DERBY CANDLESTICK FIGURE - 2 OF 2 - ONE OF A PAIR BEING SOLD INDIVIDUALLY. LOSSES TO BOCAGE & RESTORATION TO ARMS & STEM. DAMAGE TO DRIP PAN, OTHER LOSSES & REPAIRS. APPROX 18 CM HIGH. The Derby porcelain factory was founded in 1747 by Andre Planche and soon partnered with the famous William Duesbury in 1756. William Duesbury, followed by the second and then third edition of his name, was remarkable in English porcelain history to have eventually merged Derby with Chelsea in 1770 and Bow Porcelain in 1776 - both companies being acquired and keeping the Derby name, although there was a brief period when products were known as "Chelsea-Derby". When William II died in 1797 at the premature age of 34, Michael Kean, who had married into the family, took his turn at managing the company.
