Absolutely beautiful miniature vintage metal bridal party groomsmen & bride in love antique chocolate moulds. These could even be a cute flower boy & flower girl couple as they walk down the aisle ahead of the ceremony. Think what wonderful wedding cake toppers these would make in white or dark chocolate, or even table topper decoration. Make an offer! Selling a bunch more of my collection so please check other listings.

These are from the mid- 1930’s and are produced by the most sought after and collected mould maker, Anton Reiche. Both pieces are stamped with the A.G. Dresden Germany production seal and the pair are sequential catalogue numbered (#26121 / #26122). Made from tinned steel, these almost century old treasures are incredibly rare, especially to find a pair like this. A true collectors item fit for a museum or on display is up for grabs. Exterior of both molds shows such beautiful patina which adds real charm in all the right places. Interior still has some shine and could possibly still use for successful moulding but will let buyer determine.

Anton Reiche, heralded as the ‘grandfather’ of chocolate moulds, built his original factory in Dresden, Germany producing over 50,000 different mould designs in his catalogs. Reiche dominated the mould market with intricate design, quality metalwork & innovative forging. Reiche employed the world’s best tool-smiths and mold designers until the war when his factory was destroyed by Allied bombing raids.

Value determined by rarity, manufacturer, completeness, matched or married sides, condition and character / story depicted. Intricate, large, unique, unusual moulds not made en-masse so more prized.

Valuable historical museum piece, use French European country cottage kitchen, rustic kitchenalia ornament, art deco themed house, Victorian era decorative home staging or show-homes, make chalkware, wax figurines, sell at market, gift to friends.
