Lot 72: A Set of Nine Cast Madeleine Molds

This auction ended on October 9, 2025.

Estimated price: £10 - £20

Buyer's Premium: 18%

Sold for: £33

This lot comprises nine baking molds, each constructed from heavy cast iron. Each mold features multiple shell-shaped cavities with a distinct fluted texture, characteristic of traditional madeleine molds. The exterior of the molds exhibits a dark, seasoned finish, while the interior cavities are notably shinier, consistent with extensive use. Yellow stickers, including one displaying “190$” and others partially obscured, are present on some molds, appearing to be modern inventory or price tags rather than manufacturer’s markings.
