With over 110 years of experience in pioneering fine candle craftsmanship, Colonial Candle® has achieved an expert level of craftsmanship. Using only the finest ingredients and materials available, Colonial Candle® truly mastered the art of candle making.
From the start, Colonial Candle® has been a pioneer and leader in building and growing the candle industry through dedication to the highest standards of quality and innovation. Founded in 1909 by Mabel Baker, Colonial Candle was the first U.S. candle company founded and owned by a woman.
Colonial Candle began in Hyannis, Massachusetts, where Baker hand crafted bayberry taper candles as gifts for her friends and family. Her bayberry candles were in such high demand that Baker began selling them in stores on Cape Cod and quickly expanded nationwide. The candle that started it all, bayberry tapers, are still available today more than a century later.
Colonial Candle has continued the heritage of innovation and commitment to delivering excellence. With the introduction of the industry’s first patented Oval jar candle, Colonial celebrated the new millennium in 2000 with Colonial at Home. The Oval container candle skyrocketed to become a favorite of our consumers. The best loved of the original oval fragrances have been carried forward through the years into a variety of on trend formats to delight generations of consumers.
Colonial Candle® today continues our commitment to create memories and traditions through the artistry of fragrance and style.
