Royal Worcester Richard Sebright Painted Fruit Cabinet Plate 1918 Claret & Gold
£450.00
Skip to product information
A beautifully hand-painted Royal Worcester cabinet plate, produced in England in 1918 and signed by the celebrated fruit painter Richard Sebright. The underside retains the original Bonhams auction labels, providing documented auction provenance.
The central reserve depicts a ripe pear, a naturally split golden plum and several gooseberries amongst gooseberry leaves and delicate blue forget-me-not flowers. The soft, luminous palette and remarkably natural modelling reflect Sebright's extraordinary ability to capture fruit with lifelike realism.
Richard Sebright is officially recognised as the greatest fruit painter in the history of the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company. His finest signed works are regarded as museum-quality examples of Royal Worcester porcelain and have achieved record prices at major international auctions, placing them among the most desirable Painted Fruit wares ever produced by the factory.
The shaped border is decorated with a deep claret ground enriched by elaborate hand-applied burnished gold ornament and finely executed raised paste gilding (jewelled gold), formed from individually applied gold beads. The reverse bears the official Royal Worcester factory backstamp for 1918, together with the hand-painted pattern number "W 8346" and additional factory painter's and production marks.
Dimensions:
Diameter 22.6 cm. Height 2.5 cm. Weight 412 g
Condition:
A fine crack passes through the central painted reserve but does not extend into the richly decorated border. Apart from this, the plate remains in excellent antique condition. The gilt decoration, raised jewelled gilding, hand-painted enamels and claret ground are exceptionally well preserved, with virtually no wear.
Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance.
