About this item
A super quality, fruitwood gesso mould carved with a torch. This would have been used for moulding plaster (gesso) for decorative plaster work on frames or in buildings. It is signed by the carver “F S W”. A similar style of mould was used for moulding sugar and often the same carvers would carve moulds for both purposes. Many of the smaller, finer moulds would also have been used for both. This example is deeply carved, with excellent detail, and it dates from c.1820. It is in excellent condition.
Dimensions: Length 31.2cm. Width 10.2cm. Depth 3.2cm.
Price includes postage within the U.K. Shipping to the U.S.A. add £20. Most of Western Europe add £10.
