Il Letterato Water Porcelain Candleholder – LCDC Collection by Luca Nichetto for Ginori 1735

Refined and contemplative, Il Letterato (The Scholar) candleholder in water-toned gray porcelain is a sculptural tribute to intellect and observation. Part of Ginori 1735’s LCDC Collection, this elegant piece features the detailed face of a thoughtful man crowned with a black porcelain hat accented in gold—designed to cradle a scented candle.

A symbol of wisdom and introspection, Il Letterato brings timeless character to modern interiors. Pair it with the Musk Road scented candle set (sold separately), featuring delicate powdery florals of iris and violet layered with the warmth of white musk—an exotic, lingering fragrance that evokes serenity and depth.

Designed by Luca Nichetto, the La Compagnia di Caterina collection reimagines the court of Caterina de’ Medici through sculptural forms and evocative scents. Each piece blends traditional porcelain craftsmanship with a modern artistic narrative, making it a collectible object of meaning and beauty.
