This is an outstanding antique French butter brick mould, which is very rarely seen in this style. 

This primitive mould would have been made in the early 1900s. A lovely large size, there is a fabulous carved image of a grazing cow. Often, the carvings in these moulds helped to identify where butter was produced. Due to the naive and simple carving on this example, in this case it most likely represented a small dairy farm which produced the butter.

Joined with a lock at one end, and a hinge at the other, the whole mould opens up to release the butter brick once set.

With its rustic patina, it is also a very tactile piece. This would look beautiful simply sat proudly on display to give a rustic touch to your interior kitchen styling. 

Apart from general age and wear to the fittings, the mould is in excellent overall condition. There are some surface scratches and marks to the wooden surface, and wear to the edges of the wood in places but this adds natural timeworn charm to the piece. 

Length, 18cm; Width, 9.3cm; Height, 5.5cm
