Product Information

Set of two vintage “maamoul” cookie molds from the 1970s.  Maamoul is a traditional shortbread cookie filled with dates or nuts popular in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq and one of the main sweet items prepared for Eid Al-Fitr celebrations.  Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of Sweets, is the earlier of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam.  The religious holiday is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan–the cookies sound delicious, regardless of your religion.  These two molds come from the estate of a world traveler who spent many years in Saudi Arabia and traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and North Africa; they date from the 1970s and appear to be unused.  They feature different designs and are carved from a single piece of wood, which may be cedar or olive.  These are perfect for a mother-daughter, grandmother-granddaughter baking session, where each person has her own mold to work with.  The molds measure 9.25″ long x 3″ wide x about 1″ thick.  They are in excellent unused vintage condition; there are a couple of water stains on the back side.

    Wonderful experience, meticulous packaging!

    I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
