There once was an adventurous Alaskan lady who was a real globetrotter. But for all her traveling & all the places she visited, her real soft spot was Norway. Boy was she keen on that place & oh, how she shopped! When she made her final voyage & headed off to Valhalla, or one of the other nine realms or wherever, she left behind a whole ‘lotta Norway… & now we have it. This is just one item from a portion of her collection that we will be listing, to move on to the loving hands of those who also adore Norway, Norwegian culture & most especially, their Trolls. Please see our eBay store & other listings for more goodies from the beautiful & unique land of Norway. 

Candy Design has been a staple of Norwegian decorative collectibles since 1976. Over the years, they have designed about 5.000 individual figurines and sculptures which have been produced & sold worldwide. Their designs focus around Scandinavian Christmas themes like gnomes, santas, nisser, angles & nativity sets, as well as Norwegian trolls, Viking related products, Norwegian souvenirs and reproductions of antiques and famous Scandinavian oil paintings. Some of their most popular & recognizable figures are those of the Carl Larsson inspired children. Listed here today are two of these distinctive children!

Our two Carl Larsson inspired children come in candleholder form. A girl & a boy, both attired in traditional Norwegian clothing, with cherubic faces make the perfect pair for display on a mantel or sideboard. The girl, holding a milk bucket in her left hand & the candle cup in her right, stands approximately 10 1/4 inches (26 cm.) tall. The boy holds a pair of traditional Stroopwaffles in his right hand, and the candle cup in his left & stands almost 9 1/2 inches (24 cm.) tall. Like all Candy Design’s figurines & reproductions of antiques, they are hand cast in Poly Resin & hand painted. They are in excellent vintage pre-owned condition. The boy's brass cup liner is missing. They have never been used to burn candles. 

These particular versions of the children are no longer being produced. While Candy Designs still produces these basic designs, they seem to have made subtle, but still noticeable changes to their faces & some aspects of the painting & colouration. They also no longer include a brass cup liner in the candle holders. The girl currently retails for $117 US & the boy for $100 US if purchased directly from the manufacturer.
