This is a lovely antique French butter brick mould, dating from the nineteenth Century.
This mould would have been made in the 1800s. A lovely large size, there is a fabulous carved image of a cow next to a farmhouse flanked by floral decoration. Often, the carvings in these moulds helped to identify where butter was produced, in this case it was most likely represented the dairy farm which produced the butter.
With its rustic patina, this would look beautiful simply sat proudly on display to give a rustic touch to your interior kitchen styling.
The mould is in good overall condition. There are knocks, scuffs and marks to the wood from use over the years. This is more notable on part of the mould’s border. However, these flaws add to the patina and rustic overall feel of the piece. There are also some old worm holes, mainly in the inner mould section and on the back, but these have been treated.
