Royal Doulton "Fairfax (TC1006)"

Royal Doulton Fairfax (TC1006) has a smart, traditional look, with gold-coloured flowers and leaves arranged around a distinctive ribbed rim. The raised edging gives the pattern more texture than a plain border design, while the gilding adds a formal finish.

Fairfax is not quite as sought after as it once was, but it still has steady replacement interest from customers who own the service. Its restrained colouring makes it easy to live with, while the ribbed rim gives the pattern a recognisable shape detail.

When matching Fairfax, the TC1006 pattern number, ribbed rim, gold-coloured leaf decoration, pale ground and gilded edging are the main features to compare. The ribbed shape is particularly useful when checking pieces against similar gold-border Royal Doulton designs.

As a discontinued Royal Doulton pattern, Fairfax is usually chosen by customers looking to replace a broken item, extend a part service or add useful pieces to an existing table setting. Availability depends on what comes back into the pre-loved market, so individual pieces may appear only occasionally.
