A rare and impressive piece of European confectionery history.
This large antique hinged tin chocolate mold features beautifully detailed rabbit and bird figures set within a substantial slatted metal frame — the professional type used by commercial chocolatiers in Germany from the 1890s through the 1930s, the golden age of molded chocolate production.
The most celebrated manufacturer of this style was the Anton Reiche factory in Dresden, Germany, and this mold is consistent in construction and style with that tradition. The figures show exceptional surface relief detail. All hinges function. Age-appropriate patina and wear throughout. Frame may need some adjustment to use. Approximately 10–11 inches square. A stunning display piece for a kitchen, bakery, confectionery collector, or Easter enthusiast.
This heavy duty metalmold weighs 10lbs and measures 11 1/4” x 11 1/4”
