Description: | , Small key made from light metal. Late 19th century. English?
Bow consists of a shield shape with six 'spokes' radiating from the centre. The outer edges are adorned with acanthus leaves and the whole is topped with a ducal coronet. The ferrule is short but wider than the shank. Shank is medium in length, plain, and with no discernable collar. The pin is flat ended although with slight rounding. The bit is small and cut in a geometric shape like a square 'S'. Its simplicity implies a cabinet key.
One side of the key has minor corrosion, probably where it has been laid out.,
