The Chelsea factory was established by silver and goldsmith Nicholas Sprimont, from Liege. The period of manufacture known as the gold anchor period dates from 1758-1760s. This was the final phase of the Chelsea factory and the main influence on design was the rococo style of the Sèvres factory in France.
