Wind and water, farmers and fishermen, windmill and sailboat, they associate with each other one way or another. These words have a very special fascination for the true-born Dutchman.
Wooden clogs are worn by farmers, fishermen and others to protect their feet. They have been accredited as safty shoes. Nails, fishing hooks and sharp implements will not go through a wooden clog.
Even though nowadays people no longer wear clogs for everyday use, traditional footwear is still associated with Holland. Today, Dutch clogs are primarily a beloved tourist souvenir.
The age of this Dutch Wooden Clog Sailing Ship Vintage Night Light is almost 30 years. My husband bought it from his trip to the Netherlands. The smaller one is not a night light.
