Collection of keys with padlock. Wrought iron, 17th to 19th centuries. Collection consisting of thirty-two keys and a padlock with its key, all made of wrought iron, with some pieces retaining their original patina. The variety of decoration on the rings and teeth and the shape of the blades allow us to distinguish which period they belong to. It is essential to highlight the great variety and different chronology of the elements that make up this set. There are several keys that, due to the shape of their ring, can be dated to the Baroque (some with a circle or teardrop inscribed on the ring opposite the bit, which ends in the extension of the stem). Those with a simpler ring (large key) usually correspond to the 19th century, more focused on the utilitarian purpose of the object without stopping to give them a decorative touch as is done in the previous examples. Note the presence of double keys (with bits at both ends and a piece to open the door or whatever they are locking) and that there are some with interesting elements on their rings.
