French 1700's Hand-Wrought Iron Mortise Mount Farm Lock on Wood with Forged Key

  

French 1700's Hand-Wrought Iron Mortise Mount Farm Lock on Wood with Forged Key. The deadbolt operates from one side with it's key and is mounted on its original wood base. The size of the wooden block is impressible and it looks like oak. Some worms tried to make a home in there but disappeared kind of quickly, so there is not much damage here. The lock and the forged iron plates protecting it were probably not made by a "pro" and the whole thing is a real provincial farmer, not professional work which makes it's charm.

It has been fixed around the period it was made, with original forged nails, including the key with it's bent shank. It seems like the bit was replaced, again an ancient repair. Size 17 with the deadbolt out, 14 3/4 for the woodblock part.

Height 7 1/2, Depth 4 at the thickest point. This item is in the category "Antiques\Architectural & Garden\Hardware\Locks, Latches & Keys". The seller is "conatus75" and is located in this country: US.
