Vintage Papel Halloween wax Candles. They measure 5.25" in height by 4" wide. Good condition. Never burned but have some scrapes.
These vintage Papel Halloween candles are a vivid example of 1980s holiday "wax art." Measuring over five inches in height and four inches wide, these substantial pillars feature an intricate, multi-layered relief scene. The design captures the quintessential spirit of the season: a witch silhouetted against a full moon, gliding over a patch of grinning jack-o'-lanterns. Unlike standard tapers, these were designed as decorative centerpieces, intended to bring a festive, flickering glow to a mid-century mantel or tabletop.
The classic illustrative style makes these a fantastic "theatrical curiosity" for a library shelf or a study styled with vintage gothic elements. They function beautifully as seasonal sculptural art, even when unlit. These candles are in good vintage condition and have never been burned, preserving their original height and wick. While they show some honest age in the form of surface scrapes and minor scuffs to the wax, these imperfections lend them an authentic, storied character that fits perfectly within a display of "found" holiday artifacts. They remain a nostalgic find for collectors of Papel giftware or anyone seeking a bold, textural piece of Halloween Americana.
This item is vintage, approximately 35 years old.
