Over many years I've collected a lot of antique and repro chocolate, cookie, and springerle molds. Many are from Germany, France and Switzerland. The beautifully detailed beeswax castings offered here are poured using these molds. The beeswax is sourced from local beekeepers as well as from beekeepers across the country. Good beeswax has become very expensive and often hard to find. Unfortunately this is reflected in the pricing but I'm sure you'll agree these castings are beautiful and unusual works of art and with proper care will last for many years. I have some antique wax castings that are over 100 years old! All my wax castings come with hangers and care tags.
