A wonderful and rarely seen example of an antique Victorian carved wooden butter mould, featuring a horse and bird. 

This is a great piece of antique kitchenalia, perfect for giving a farmhouse feel to any display. This is a rare survivor with both sides of the butter mould still available. t is rare to see these with animals, especially featuring two on the same mould. The carving of each animal is beautiful, with lots of detail.

Dating from the 19th Century, this piece now has a worn soft patina to it, with gentle wear to the edges of the carvings from where it has been used. There are also some surface scratches to the moulds as well. Unfortunately, the original dowel which would have fixed and held the moulds in position to enable melted butter to be poured in are missing. But this could easily be replaced, or the piece could still be held together with clamps to be able to use it. 

Length, 30cm; Depth, 4.5cm (each side is 2.25cm in depth); Height, 11cm.
