About the Item

Industrial foundry form, factory casting, beautiful silver zinc original paint, wonderful patina, stepped Art Deco design, would make an amazing coffee/cocktail table. See other listings for additional foundry molds. Foundry molds and patterns are wooden tools, carved out or built up to create negative space, which in turn is used to make the inverse form or shape to be used for the casting of metal. To make a wooden mold, wood needs to be stacked up, like a relief, or cut-out, like a sunken relief, with handles or other pieces to grab and pick up the mold from the molding material. Individual pattern pieces that get packed into the molding material are carved and shaped. The space or forms that these pieces make in the molding material will be the inverse of the final cast piece. These antique foundry molds from the Machine Age are a reminder of the nation’s Industrial past, a large factor in shaping the culture of the modern era in America. While these pieces would not have traditionally been found in a residence, the types of Industrial forms could have been used in the design of interior furnishings. These geometric shaped foundry molds could potentially be converted into lamps bases, table legs, electronic device stands, and other furnishings that could reference this era. Molds are Industrial, steampunk designs of striking colors and unusual shapes. Mold designs can be simple or complex, and without careful removal after casting the mold can break. Antique foundry molds are getting harder and harder to find. They are unique, authentic pieces formed through a number of processes and craftsmanship. Additionally, these pieces could be hung from the walls to serve as pieces of art.
