Price History
Description
Featuring the distinctive Art Deco grooves of the Bernadotte series from Georg Jensen, this tactile candle holder is made of mirror-polished stainless steel. It can hold a tapered candle but becomes a tealight holder when turned on its head. First launched in the 1930s, the elegant Bernadotte collection from Georg Jensen has come to symbolise Scandinavian design and craftsmanship. The first pieces were designed by Swedish Prince Sigvard Bernadotte who was influenced by functionalism, a design movement that held function and practicality as its guiding principle. Sigvard Bernadotte went on to become one of Georg Jensen's most successful collaborators, and the timeless aesthetics of the Bernadotte collection has made it one of the most popular in the long Georg Jensen history.
Our Stylist Says
I love this candle holder for its sleek, timeless design that combines Scandinavian simplicity with a modern edge. It's versatile enough to work well in minimalist and contemporary interiors, especially when paired with neutral or monochrome palettes. The use of stainless steel adds a sophisticated shine, making it suitable for both everyday use and special occasions. Practical styling tips include grouping it with other metallic accessories or placing it on a neutral tray with a few small decorative objects for added interest. Its understated elegance makes it a great choice for dressing up a console table, dining table, or mantelpiece without overwhelming the space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
