Description from the seller

Beautiful and elegant wrought-iron key from the second half of the 17th century.
The most striking feature of this key is the heart-shaped handle, a symbol that at that time was associated with love and trust, which suggests that this key may have belonged to a personal blanket chest or a chest of valuables.
The intricate ward/guard also gave the owner a sense of security.
This is an artisanal masterpiece with a rich history for your collection or interior.
Considering its age and use, it is in good condition; the signs of wear and the beautiful patina add extra charm to this key.
Dimensions: 8.9 cm x 3.8 cm x 0.7 cm.
Carefully packaged and sent by registered mail with track and trace.
