Elena Napoleone

Collection of 26 Antique Iron Keys (1850–1900)
A fascinating assortment of original iron keys dating from the mid-19th to early-20th century, all discovered in a historic notary’s office located in the heart of Florence, Italy. This rare and varied collection carries the authentic charm of old Florentine palaces and working spaces.

Provenance:
These keys were found in a traditional Florentine notary’s studio. According to their size and type, they were used in different parts of the building:

Largest keys (up to 15 cm): used for the main entrance doors of the palazzo.

Medium-sized keys: likely used for the interior doors of the notary’s office.

Small and miniature keys (from 2.5 cm): typically used for writing desks, small chests, safeboxes, and antique lockboxes.


Lot details:

Quantity: 26 pieces

Material: Iron

Dimensions: approx. 2.5 cm to 15 cm

Dating: 1850–1900

Condition: original patina with age-related marks consistent with use; no aggressive cleaning has been performed in order to preserve authenticity.


This is an ideal lot for collectors, restorers, antique dealers, set designers, or anyone passionate about historical objects and vintage craftsmanship. The variety and the Florentine provenance make this collection particularly appealing and difficult to find.

A unique and atmospheric set, perfect as a decorative ensemble or as the foundation of a dedicated key collection.
