This elegant late 19th-century French copper mold features an ornate embossed floral motif, forming a swirling flower design that draws the eye with its symmetry and depth. The warm copper surface is enriched by a natural patina and gentle signs of wear, including small dents that do not detract from its beauty but rather enhance its antique charm. The gadrooned lower section adds volume and texture, giving the piece a sculptural presence. It retains its original hanging hook, making it easy to display. Historically, molds like this were essential in the kitchens of grand homes and fine establishments, used to prepare elaborate jellies, flans, or puddings. Their detailed shapes reflected the French culinary tradition of elevating both the flavor and presentation of food. Today, this mold serves as a beautiful decorative accent, perfect for adding a layer of texture and historical interest to a kitchen or dining space. Whether hung on the wall or placed on a shelf among other vintage cookware, it introduces a refined touch of French heritage and craftsmanship. s.
