Antique Architectural Ornament Mold: Crest and Flowers 1911 postcard then varnished

then varnished

Initialed at center

with a beautiful warm dry wood patina

and I have not inked it up to try it

but would also be fun for serving canapé

Antique Architectural Ornament Mold: Crest and Flowers 1911 postcard then varnishedI see a lot of old wooden industrial molds but only occasionally do I across across ones like this, filled with a pitch wood resin mold material, and used for casting ornaments for architecture, molding and picture frames. This is the largest of several I'm listing, with a crest form set at an angle along with three different flowers, which I really love altogether for the sort of strangeness of the composition. Photographs don't quite do justice
