This is a wonderful piece of Scandinavian folk art - a large wooden 19th Century cheese mould featuring a carved geometric design.
Typical of Swedish folk art at the time, this wooden cheese mould has a carved geometric pattern on its base. Holes in the base of the mould allowed the whey to drip away.
This is a fantastic rustic and tactile mould. Dowel rods hold it together and it's a sturdy piece.
A lovely insight into Swedish history, this is a wonderful decorative feature in its own right. It could also be used as a small feature shelf to display smaller pieces simultaneously.
Apart from general age and wear, including small pieces of loss, to the fittings and the wood in some places, the mould is in good overall condition. There are a number of old worm holes all over, including some which are concentrated in the base of the mould, but the piece has been treated and it nevertheless has a rustic appeal to it.
Dimensions:
Length, 35cm; Width, 21cm; Height, 10cm
