Padlock Victorian - Improved Tumbler Lock

Elegant and authentic Victorian-era English padlock, made around 1890. The object features a sturdy steel structure with brass details, including the characteristic engraved plate 'Improved Tumbler Lock,' typical of late Victorian models.

The design, with its distinctive 'mouse-shaped' form often used on late 19th-century security padlocks, is complemented by the original forged iron key, still functional, with an antique ring and cord. The internal tumbler mechanism — innovative for its time — is still operable, and the padlock's shackle is shown open to demonstrate the piece's full structural integrity.

Conditions: uniform patina consistent with the age, non-invasive surface oxidation, no significant alteration. Mechanism and key fit correctly.

Typical proportions of padlocks for boxes or gates from that era.

A rare and highly sought-after item among Victorian antiquities collectors, perfect both as a display piece and as an addition to a collection of historical locks.
