Description from the seller

Beautiful and large antique iron key from the 18th century, handcrafted and professionally made.
This long key has an intricately profiled ward and a solid shaft.
The key has a long shaft because it was most likely used in the past for a very thick door, and the complex ward provided extra security.
With its distinctive handle and complex ward, this piece embodies the pure craftsmanship of the old-fashioned locksmith.
In good condition with the expected signs of wear for a key of this age and bearing a nicely aged patina.
This key exudes centuries of history and is a perfect object for the collector or for display in your interior.
Carefully packaged and sent by registered mail with track and trace.
