Add to WishlistRESERVED.
Victorian silver engraved padlock with a small brass key. This is a wonderful and rare engraved silver lock. The padlock is a shield shape and displays an engraved floral style design on all visible sides. A brass key locks and unlocks the padlock and a little click lets you know that the lock has been secured. The two pieces, lock and key, are attached by a wrapped wire style silver chain which has a bail for hanging from a charm bracelet or chain. The chain is likely not originally to the set, but rather a clever way a previous owner has devised to keep the pair together. The chain dates from around the same time period. Circa 1880s.
Not hallmarked, tested as 800 - 900 silver.
Padlock measures 15.3 mm tall by 11.4 mm wide. When picked up by the connecting bail so the key and lock hang next to each other, this piece measures 4.2 cm / 1.65 inches long.
Weighs approx 3.5 grams.
