This exquisite antique French copper mold captures the timeless artistry of early 20th-century pâtisserie. Hand-hammered with a softly radiant rosette or fluted flower design, it reflects the traditional craftsmanship of small French ateliers that produced molds for jellies, bavarois, and molded desserts long before industrial forms took over.

Measuring 6.75" across and 4" deep, this mold has a sculptural presence that belies its modest size — its deeply lobed petals catch the light beautifully, creating warm reflections that shift from gold to rose depending on the angle. The rolled rim and riveted brass hanging loop are consistent with molds from the 1920s to 1940s, a period when copper was still widely used in professional pâtisseries across France.

While unmarked, its proportions and hand-finished character are characteristic of the molds made in Normandy and the Loire Valley — regions long associated with fine metalwork. The tin lining has worn to a soft, silvery patina, typical of genuine vintage copper that’s seen careful use and years of gentle polishing.

Whether hung on a kitchen wall, grouped in a copper display, or used to shape an elegant molded dessert, this piece adds an unmistakable touch of French authenticity and charm.
