Antique Booths 'Old Dutch Peacock' China Dinner Service

Antique Booths 'Old Dutch Peacock' China Dinner Service

Price on Request Price on Request

This exquisite antique dinner service by Booths features the coveted Old Dutch Peacock pattern — a richly detailed chinoiserie design that blends English craftsmanship with Eastern-inspired motifs. The central scene depicts a regal peacock perched amid lush florals and pagoda-like arches, rendered in vibrant shades of cobalt blue, deep red, forest green, and ochre. The ornate border — a flourish of scrollwork, lattice, and blossoms — frames the central vignette beautifully, adding an extra layer of texture and rhythm.

What makes this service truly unique is its arresting balance of boldness and elegance. The colour palette is rare and sophisticated, and each plate is subtly nuanced by hand-applied overglaze enamel touches, making every piece slightly one-of-a-kind. While it dates to the early 1900s, the design is timeless — equally at home in a traditional table setting or layered into a modern collector’s cabinet.

Booths was a respected Staffordshire maker known for high-quality ironstone and china wares, and this pattern — inspired by 18th-century oriental export porcelain — reflects the Edwardian era’s fascination with global design. It captures the romance of the East through a distinctly British lens, with craftsmanship that has aged gracefully over the past century.

Whether you’re a serious collector or simply drawn to storied tableware, this set is both functional and conversation-worthy. A rare find in such fine condition, it speaks to a time when everyday objects were made with extraordinary care.
