This authentic antique Wedgwood Jasperware medallion is inscribed on the reverse with the sitter’s name and the Wedgwood mark, confirming its period origin.

This medallion is not only a work of decorative art but also a tangible link to late 18th century Britain and its maritime heritage. Admiral Lord Duncan was a key figure in the Royal Navy, best known for his victory at the Battle of Camperdown in 1797. Portrait medallions such as this were produced by Wedgwood to honour prominent figures of the era, and they have long been sought after by collectors of Georgian ceramics, naval memorabilia, and neoclassical art.

The condition of both the jasperware and the frame is remarkably good considering the age of the piece. The jasperware surface retains its soft, matte finish, and the white relief remains crisp with pleasing depth. The period wooden frame shows expected gentle wear commensurate with age, adding authenticity and character without detracting from the overall presentation.

This is an excellent opportunity for collectors of:

• Antique Wedgwood and jasperware
• 18th century British ceramics
• Naval and maritime history memorabilia
• Portrait medallions and plaques
• Georgian and neoclassical decorative arts

Whether you are building a specialist collection of early Wedgwood, seeking a historically significant decorative accent, or looking for a distinctive gift for a lover of British history, this original 18th century Wedgwood Lord Duncan medallion is a refined and luxurious choice.
