Rare antique carved wooden mold, dedicated to the making of baked marzipan, a testament to true artisanal craftsmanship.
This type of mold was used to press a paste composed of approximately 50% almonds and 50% sugar, creating a raised design. After unmolding, the resulting sheet was hand-cut to form **six individual heart-shaped pieces**, which were then baked separately.
The quality of the carving is remarkable, with a rosette motif blending floral and geometric elements, finely engraved with beautiful depth. The undulating outline, reinforced by a metal border, emphasizes both the function and the durability of the object.
Beyond its decorative appeal, this mold remains **perfectly usable** for its original purpose, making it a rare piece that is both functional and collectible. It will appeal to lovers of culinary traditions as well as enthusiasts of antique objects.
