Rare Derby Porcelain Figurine Of Girl Seated In Armchair, Circa 1790

Antique Derby porcelain figure, c.1790, representing a young girl seated in a finely modelled Louis XVI style chair. This figure is unusually finely executed, with precise detail to the hand-painted floral dress and gilt accents. The individually formed links of the necklace are visible even under magnification, demonstrating remarkable craftsmanship. The chair reflects neoclassical taste, fashionable in England and France at the end of the 18th century. The base is painted in classic Derby colours with neoclassical ornament.                                                                        The original factory mark was deliberately removed, likely due to export restrictions or commercial strategy. The underside shows the classic wide flat ring base with a central recess, a distinctive feature of Derby figures from this period.                                                                                                                     A rare and highly collectible example for advanced collectors of early English porcelain, combining museum-level quality, authenticity, and excellent preservation.
