Description: | Brass headed cabinet key, Brass-headed cabinet key, late 17th/early 18th century.
The large bow is made up of circular scrolls and volutes, somewhat mis-shapen, attached to the brass horned and spherical ferrule. Beneath this the iron shank has some decoration approx. 15mm and then is plain and cylindrical with no discernable collar. The pin is hollow to fit a cabinet lock. The bit is small with a small cut cleft.
A small groove is present in the shank near the pin which looks like some damage has occurred. The bow is bent out of shape by approx. 5mm.,
