Victorian Cast Iron Door Lock
This is a substantial Victorian-era door lock, crafted from cast iron and exhibiting clear Art Nouveau influences in its swirling, floral-inspired design. The lock features intricate detailing across its faceplate, culminating in a central keyhole. The robust construction and ornate aesthetic suggest it was originally fitted to a significant entrance, likely a main door or a room of importance. The lock’s weight and the quality of the casting indicate a high level of craftsmanship typical of the period.
Condition and Collectibility
The lock presents with a patina consistent with age and use, displaying signs of wear and possible corrosion. While the mechanism is untested, the lock’s overall structural integrity appears sound. This piece would appeal to collectors of antique hardware, architectural salvage enthusiasts, or those seeking to restore a Victorian property to its original glory. The lock’s decorative nature and historical significance make it a desirable addition to any collection.
