Lovely French Vintage Hand Made Copper Baking Mold/Old Tin Mold/Confectionery Mold with brass handles. This mold was visibly handmade and engraved with a bird shape and various designs on the front and side surfaces. It was used back in the early 1900s to make chocolate and small cakes or just for decoration as it can be hung on display by the handles.
Given it's age and layers of tarnish, I chose to clean the copper surface with natural lemon and salt to remove the years of age and restore it to it's original condition so it could be used again. I would use this as decoration, as the detail is lovely. But it's your choice as it can be used for baking.
--- Condition ---
In lovely vintage condition. As mentioned, I cleaned and polished it with lemon and salt to remove the brown and debris from aging. It still has a lovely patina and it you want more tarnish but let it sit in the sun for a few days. Given the age there are signs of usage and age such as minor surface scratches/mark, surface oxidation in the corners and tiny dents in the surface that are barely visible as shown in the photos. Please ask me if you are unsure and use ZOOM to review the detail of each photo.
