A beautiful antique French wooden butter mould, dating to the late 19th century, c. 1880–1900. Crafted from solid wood, the two-part mould features a deeply carved interior with fluted sides and a lovely floral and foliate design that would have left an decorative impression in the finished butter.
The mould retains its original iron fittings and has developed a wonderful timeworn surface from generations of use. Numerous old woodworm holes, surface wear, small splits and imperfections are present throughout, adding to its wonderfully aged appearance. Woodworm activity appears historic, though as with all antique wooden pieces, it should be monitored.
A particularly striking piece of early French kitchenware, beautiful displayed open to reveal the carving or simply layered into a collection of antique treen.
