This antique copper mold, dating to the late 19th century, exudes historical charm with its embossed design reminiscent of a pumpkin. Originating from a historic hotel in Avignon, the mold features a warm, aged copper hue that beautifully highlights its intricate gadrooned forms. It retains its original hanging hook, making it ideal for decorative wall display. A rich, time-earned patina enhances its authenticity and allure, offering a tangible sense of age and craftsmanship.
Historically, copper molds like this were essential in French culinary traditions, used for creating elaborately shaped puddings, jellies, and occasionally cakes. The pumpkin-like form suggests a seasonal harvest influence, enhancing its visual and collectible appeal.

Whether hung on the wall or styled on a shelf, alone or among a collection of antique culinary pieces, it serves as a striking focal point.
