Description :
Beautiful antique French copper charlotte mold dating from the late 19th century, circa 1880, featuring an unusual and charming decoration of two pears surrounded by delicately sculpted leaves.
This traditional French pastry mold is distinguished by its elegant circular shape, deeply fluted sides, and beautifully embossed fruit decoration. The central medallion displays two generously proportioned pears in high relief, framed by foliage, creating a particularly attractive and sculptural composition.
Crafted from copper using traditional repoussé techniques, the mold features a rich, warm patina that has developed naturally over more than a century. The beautifully aged copper surface displays subtle variations in color, gentle oxidation, and small marks consistent with its age and original use.
The interior retains a contrasting golden finish, while the reinforced rim and original metal hanging ring complete its traditional construction. The hanging ring allowed the mold to be conveniently stored and displayed in a kitchen.
Originally designed for preparing traditional molded desserts, this fine example of 19th-century French copperware is now equally appealing as a decorative collectible.
Its generous proportions, unusual pear decoration, and authentic antique character make it a particularly attractive addition to a collection of French culinary antiques, or a charming decorative accent in a country kitchen.
The mold remains in good antique condition, retaining its original character and beautiful aged patina.
