A beautifully balanced piece from Wedgwood’s Jasperware range, this banquet candlestick is rendered in a deep, matte black Jasperware body contrasted with crisp white applied relief. The monochrome palette gives the neoclassical design a more contemporary, sculptural feel while remaining true to Wedgwood’s long tradition of refined stoneware.
Compact, elegant, and quietly expressive, it’s a versatile accent piece—equally at home in a modern interior or a traditional, collected space.
