Antique Wood Industrial Architectural Primitive Gesso Plaster Mold Salvage

 

This gesso mold dates from the late 19th c. (1880's) and is made of wood and the mold itself is pitch tar. MUCH BIGGER THEN PHOTOS!

Antique gesso molds are rare and difficult to fine. I purchased quite a few of these from a dealer who had acquired them from a retired restoration artist. These molds were used to create the highly decorative gesso frames for oil paintings, moldings and decorative accents on furniture.

They are made by carving intricate patterns into wood which is then used to make the pitch tar mold. The pitch tar mold is then mounted within a large wood block.

These blocks are thick and industrial grade since they were intended to heavy work loads. These blocks are ideal as bookends, door stops, paper weights or you can screw hooks you can find at any hardware store in the backside and hang them on the wall.

This mold is an authentic antique.

The wood has aged and gained a beautiful rich patina. The mold is a bit dusty, you can clean these molds and add some lindseed oil to shine them up but I personally prefer them just the way they are!

This listing is for one mold as shown.

Measures: 19 1/2" X 10" X 1 3/4" across and 1" thick.

This bowl has great patina, a 1" rim around the top and remains in very good condition.

19th c. 1800s Primitive Red Stained Painted Blanket Storage Trunk Bench

 

Antique primitive blanket trunk dating from the late 1800's, early 2oth c in very good condition. Has it's original red stained finish. Beautiful trunk for winter storage out in the hall, doubles as a bench, storage in the kitchen or the bedroom for root veggies and winter blankets. Also would be a great box for kindling next to the fireplace. Blanket trunks are very popular as coffee tables in cottage style homes.

The inside is very clean, small crack on the bottom of the trunk. Trunk also has many scratches, nicks and the lid does not quite close on one side due to the expansion and shrinkage that wood goes through as it ages, to be expected on an item this old. There is a small piece of wood missing from the lower molding in one spot.

Trunk can be purchased from our Etsy shop online here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/91525922/19th-c-1800s-primitive-red-stained

Trunk measures: 40" long by 16 2/4" wide and 21" high.
