Indulge in the elegance of Georgian-era design with this exceptional Wedgwood & Bentley 18th Century Two-Sided Jasperware Medallion 9ct Gold Brooch. A rare and refined piece, it beautifully unites the artistry of early Wedgwood jasperware with the warmth and luxury of solid gold, creating a timeless jewel that will appeal to both serious collectors and lovers of fine antique jewellery.
This exquisite brooch features an original two-sided jasperware medallion, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and classical aesthetic that made Wedgwood & Bentley so sought after in the late 18th century. Each side of the medallion presents finely modelled detail in relief, capturing the subtlety and depth that define high-quality jasperware. The reversible design allows the piece to be worn and displayed in more than one way, adding an element of versatility and intrigue.
The medallion is mounted in a 9ct gold setting, providing a rich and understated frame that enhances the soft matte finish and delicate colouring of the jasperware. The gold mount is carefully crafted to complement the medallion without overwhelming it, resulting in a harmonious balance of ceramic art and precious metal. With an approximate height of 4.5cm, the brooch has a presence that is noticeable yet refined, perfect for wearing on a lapel, dress, or evening jacket.
This piece is of particular interest to collectors of Wedgwood, Wedgwood & Bentley, English ceramics, and antique jewellery. Wedgwood & Bentley items from the 18th century are highly regarded for their quality, historical significance, and classical styling. A two-sided jasperware medallion brooch in gold is an especially desirable combination, reflecting both the fashion and artistic ambitions of the period.
The brooch is in good antique condition. There is a single, mostly invisible hairline to the frontal medallion, mentioned for accuracy and consistent with the age and delicacy of the piece. This does not detract from its overall appearance or wearability and remains unobtrusive when the brooch is worn or displayed.
