Featuring a raised anthemion pattern, the piece combines classical botanical ornament with the rich, matte black finish characteristic of Wedgwood basalt ware.

The sculptural form and applied decorative detail reflect the period’s enduring appreciation for classical design. The anthemion motif lends the candlestick a sense of refinement, while its compact proportions make it both a functional and decorative object.

Impressed “WEDGWOOD” and “ETRURIA ENGLAND” marks to underside. In very good condition, consistent with its age and period.

A beautifully proportioned object well suited to libraries, mantelpieces, or thoughtfully curated tabletop arrangements. Its timeless neoclassical character makes it an appealing addition to collections of Wedgwood, English stoneware, or antique candlesticks.
