Vintage 19th Century Letang Triple Strawberry Mold

Product Description

Crafted in Paris by the famed atelier Letang Fils, this 19th century triple strawberry mold captures the artistry and charm of European confectionery in the age of grand dining and culinary spectacle. Formed from heavy tin with exquisite detail, each of the three strawberries is rendered with naturalistic texture and scale, a testament to the mold maker’s precision. Letang molds were favored by pâtissiers and chocolatiers throughout France, prized for their durability and refined form. This example bears the Letang mark, a hallmark of Parisian craftsmanship, and was likely used to shape ice creams, jellies, or molded sweets for lavish table presentations. Time has lent the surface a warm patina, and the hinge remains in fine working order. Still functional and wholly decorative, it may be displayed in a kitchen, on a shelf of culinary antiques, or simply admired as an object that speaks to the pleasure and artistry of 19th century gastronomy.
