Vintage Industrial Cast Iron Foundry Mold – Heavy Blue Ingot Tray (20 kg)

This vintage industrial cast iron foundry mold is a striking and authentic piece of early 20th-century workshop equipment from France. Originally used as an ingot tray or metal casting mold, it is made from extremely heavy solid cast iron and retains its original blue paint with a beautifully weathered, time-worn patina.

The interior shows typical casting wear, oxidation, and heat marks—evidence of its industrial past—while the exterior handles and tapered shape reflect its functional design.
Today, it makes a powerful decorative statement and can be repurposed as:

• Industrial décor element

• Sculptural object

• Planter or storage tray

• Fireplace accessory

• Vide-poche

• Display for wood, magazines, or artisanal goods

A true character piece for lofts, ateliers, and interiors embracing industrial or wabi-sabi aesthetics.

Heavy patina, oxidation, and wear consistent with industrial use. Structurally solid.
