⸻
Small, handcrafted padlock with a characteristic disc-shaped body and an original key made from a copper alloy. Such locks were mainly used between the 18th and early 19th centuries for trunks, chests, or travel cases. The concentric circles on the front are typical of simple disc locks from that period. The set shows clear, authentic signs of age but remains an interesting example of historical everyday metalwork. The lock cannot be locked.
