Truly, this is an amazing key, a museum piece without question. This Italian Renaissance key was likely fashioned sometime early to mid-1600’s. This dazzling masterpiece measures 18.6cm and is eye candy from any angle! The design curves in the bow, the incredible complexity of the shaft and the intricacy of the bit, make this key unlike any other I’ve seen in books or in museums.
 
A massive and extremely heavy key that’s built like a fortress . . . I can only imagine the majestic lock it opened.  And its condition and patina is superb . . .an exquisite key in every respect!
