16th century
Stunning, large and powerful wrought iron key of an iron chest lock (Germany?)
If it is not strictly speaking a master key, we will notice the exceptional quality of the complex carving work of the comb, whose wrought iron segments are at least over 6 mm thick !
Total dimensions of this large key 18.5cm length * 2.5cm width * 6cm height
Very Nice homogeneous patina of the key (please check photos)
Superb and very interesting item for Curiosities collection , or iron work and locksmithing...
(Please also check in another previous Proantic announcements for another very nice key from the same collection)
