Lock. Wrought iron. Spanish School, 17th century.

About the Item

Lock. Wrought iron. Spanish School, 17th century. A working wrought iron deadbolt with a key features a push-button mechanism on the lower right side to lift the cover concealing the keyhole. The key is opened in two steps by inserting the key. The key features a decoration of moldings and pearls, along with a tribolulated ring. The deadbolt features a series of elements on the outer edge, influenced by architecture and arranged symmetrically and balanced, following classicist motifs. The bar consists of a tubular section and a flat section (at one point, another decoration similar to that of the deadbolt appears). Also noteworthy is the heraldic shield-shaped section with a closed crown in the lock's escutcheon area. Compare this work with, for example, the lock shields of ancient Spanish chests such as those preserved in the Museo Casa de Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), with locks from churches, convents and other important ancient institutions (the bolt of El Escorial in the Museum of Royal Collections of National Heritage in Madrid, the doors of the Hospital of the Third Order in Madrid, etc.), or pieces such as the 17th-century Sevillian bolt from the collection of the Museo Español de Antigüedades, now preserved in the Museo Arqueológico Nacional (inventory 52014). Weight: 4 kg. · Size: 40,5x6x15,5 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
