Beautiful set of 5 large different keys, late 17th or early 18th century, these gilded iron keys opened doors of apartments reserved for distinguished guests in a palace, each one, as you can see, is different, none opens the same door, but all seem to be part of same residence, each more or less worn.... I don't know more...
Probably a Rhenish or German Palace, which must have welcomed important guests;
Large models, up to 20cm, indestructible, very good quality, gilding has weakened over the past 300 years, but the gathering of 5 of these keys is still an event.
Admire the models, ample and richly ringed, different bits and rings, still Renaissance style, full stems ending in buttons.
20cm x 16cm L. (approximately 1kg for 5)
Good condition, gold wear from use. see our candid photos,
