£750.00
A late eighteenth-century pair of Chelsea porcelain candlesticks representing the allegories of Summer and Autumn, made during the manufactory's final independent years, c.1775-1783. These compact figures continue the long-established Four Seasons tradition and show the mature Rococo style still used at Chelsea in the 1770s-1780s. Summer carries a sheaf of wheat, and Autumn holds grapes under a vine wreath. Comparable examples are held in major museum collections, reflecting the enduring importance of this group within Chelsea's output.
