The head has an openwork oval design, allowing for a good grip during use. The visible surface shows a marked patina with traces of oxidation, revealing an authentic appearance and the probable age of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish reveals a metallic appearance with brown-rusty nuances and some lighter areas, particularly around the bit and on the upper part of the stem. No markings, logos, or inscriptions are visible on this side. The contours are clean, without engraved decoration or ornament, which generally corresponds to keys for utilitarian furniture locks from the 20th century, or even earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bit has a simple cut, without technical complication, suitable for a classic chest of drawers, wardrobe, or secretary lock. The oval grip hole is wide enough to allow the insertion of a ring or chain if needed. The key is photographed on a red and white textile background, which highlights its antique hue and the texture of the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of key was commonly used on antique furniture, especially for locks with a simple mechanism.
