Bring early American charm into your home with this authentic 19th century taper candle mold. Hand-forged from tin with a rustic patina, this six-tube mold was once used in households to make slender taper candles before the advent of factory production. The simple, utilitarian design features a square base, six vertical molds, and a top plate with open pouring holes where hot wax would be carefully funneled in. A side handle allowed for easy carrying and positioning near the hearth.
Standing at approximately 10½ inches tall, this mold bears the marks of use and age, with rich surface wear, oxidation, and character that only centuries of history can create. Collectors of Americana and primitive kitchenware will appreciate its honest craftsmanship and functionality—today, it can be displayed as a sculptural object, grouped with other early lighting pieces, or repurposed as a decorative stand.
