Description :
Beautiful pair of antique French copper moulds featuring charming fruit decorations in high relief, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.
Each circular mould displays a different decorative composition, one featuring a generous bunch of grapes surrounded by vine leaves and an elegantly curved stem, while the other depicts two strawberries accompanied by delicately detailed foliage.
The fruit motifs are executed in repoussé copperwork, creating beautifully raised surfaces that capture the light and emphasise the richness of the designs. Both pieces feature finely textured backgrounds decorated with small floral patterns and scalloped borders, adding refinement to their rustic character.
Crafted from solid copper, the moulds have a warm reddish-golden patina, with subtle traces of natural oxidation and verdigris developed over time. Their slightly flared sides and rolled rims reflect traditional metalworking techniques.
Each mould retains its original suspension ring, allowing the pair to be displayed as decorative wall pieces, particularly suited to a French country kitchen, farmhouse interior, or traditional copperware collection.
These charming examples of antique kitchenware combine craftsmanship, decorative appeal, and authentic character. They remain in attractive vintage condition, with surface marks, minor irregularities, and oxidation consistent with their age and previous use.
