AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old key presented on an elegant burgundy case adorned with golden floral embroidery. The object has a traditional shape with a single ward, typical of door or furniture keys from the early to mid-20th century. Its round head is particularly wide, offering a good grip. The silver finish, slightly patinated, reveals some traces of wear, accentuating the retro and authentic charm of the whole.

The shank is straight, with a clean cut at the ward. The visible details confirm careful manufacturing work, without superfluous embellishments, in the tradition of robust utility keys used in old residences or manor-style furniture. The surface shows some age-related marks, visible on the bow and ward, without affecting its apparent solidity.

The key rests on purple velvet fabric, embroidered with golden floral motifs, which highlights its decorative and vintage appearance. The glancing light reveals subtle metallic nuances on the key, emphasizing a natural patina. No markings or inscriptions are visible on the exposed side.

In the background, a golden hand mirror evokes the atmosphere of a dressing table or an old bedroom, reinforcing the decorative and retro context of the scene. The ensemble suggests a period piece, ideal for decorating or recreating a character interior.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of light signs of use and a visible patina on the surface, typical of an old object. No chips or apparent deformation on the visible part.

Did you know? Old keys of this type were often handmade until the early 20th century, with each ward adapted to a specific lock. Their distinctive shape not only ensured security but also identified the function of the room or piece of furniture they opened in large houses and manors of the time.
