Fruits and Nuts Mold. This mold which measures 12 1/2" x 12” x 1 1/2" comes from... a Franconian bakery. Franconia (German: Franken) is a historic region of Germany comprising the northern parts of the modern state of Bavaria and the area to its immediate west. When this mold was first presented to me my thoughts were that it was a piece from the Baroque period. It is estimated to be from the mid 1600’s to the early 1700’s. The wood had a great dark patina and it was riddled with worm holes but very few were on the images themselves. The carvings of the pears, grapes, walnuts, plums, cherries, pomegranate and other fruits were spectacular. A deep mold that I believe was probably for a grand cake topper.
If you would like to order the biscuit or the mold, all orders must be done before the 1st of December.
This would make a cute Christmas gift. Biscuits designed by molds from the heart of Europe.
