Antique French Butter Mould hand carved flower

This charming antique butter mould is a wonderful piece of French folk art and kitchen history. Carved from a light-colored hardwood, this hinged, two-part press was used in the late 19th or early 20th century by home cooks or local dairy producers to give fresh butter a decorative finish before sale or serving.

Key Features:

• Design: The deep, rectangular cavity features an intricate, hand-carved floral motif—likely a stylized daisy or wildflower—with clear details on the petals, stem, and leaves.

• Construction: It features a robust, hinged, two-piece construction, allowing the pressed butter block to be easily released without damage. Metal staples or small hinge pins secure the two halves of the frame.

• Patina: The wood exhibits a lovely, aged patina, showing signs of its utility in a traditional French kitchen over a century ago.

A perfect collectible for enthusiasts of primitive kitchenalia, traditional kitchen tools, French country décor, or antique woodworking tools.
