12 Huge Mostly 18th Century French Wrought Iron Keys
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:18755448 |
12 very large, heavy wrought iron keys ranging from about 6 to 7.75 inches long mostly dating to the 18th century. The key in the middle is particularly unusual in that the bit suggests that the key fits an earlier Gothic style lock even though the bow suggests a later period – perhaps made at a later date for an earlier made lock. The key next to it is also likely earlier than 18th century. Most of the others are more typical in form of lar...ge keys of the period. The one with the trefoil in the bow is an oddity – not sure of date or origin. Condition of the keys is mixed with some quite corroded and others in excellent condition. One key has a small split in the bow. Nice collection of collectable old keys. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Heavy so postage is quite costly. Buyer pays shipping, £7.00 UK, £15.00 to continental Europe and £22.00 to the rest of the world (tracked). If you are interested in locks, padlocks and keys please check out my other auctions.
