They might be for making those shapes to stick onto mirror frames etc, as decoration.
A sort of putty was used and moulded, then allowed to dry and harden. Then they were glued onto the wooden frame and the whole thing painted. The result looked like carved wooden pieces, but were much quicker and much less labour intensive to make.
Lots of complex shapes were made this way – leaves etc. "Salvage Hunters: The Restorers" often feature a sculptor and a lady who restores mirror frames, and they both mould decoration pieces in this way to give the appearance of carved items.
Having said all that, it seems odd that only a couple of moulds are in this particular kit. It could instead have been used to mould sweets perhaps?
