Rare and charming pair of vintage hand-painted figural candles depicting a Dutch couple, produced by the Colonial Candle Co of Cape Cod. These are not Pilgrim figures, but a lesser-seen Dutch folk pair, making them especially desirable to collectors of cultural, ethnic, and folk art candles.
Each candle is individually hand-painted, showcasing traditional Dutch attire with wonderful character and detail. This matched pair has been exceptionally well preserved and remains housed in its original Colonial Candle Co. box, an increasingly rare survival.
Based on style, construction, and company history, these candles are estimated to date to the 1940s. Dutch-themed figural candles are seldom found compared to more common Pilgrim examples, and this specific pairing is rarely seen.
