AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and elegant antique winding key intended for key-wound pocket watches.
This horology-jewelry object features a particularly decorative manufacture.
The key has a turned and molded body extended by a remarkable decorative head worked in relief, adorned with three small blue cabochons evoking turquoise.
A side ring probably allowed suspending the key from a watch chain, a pendant, or a fob.
The metal has been tested with a touchstone and with the acid corresponding to 18-karat fineness, with a positive result.
Absence of a clearly identifiable hallmark.
