Description
A trio of oversized decorative keys suspended from a large circular mounting ring. The keys are manufactured from cast brass and feature varied ornamental designs. One key displays an oval bow with a simple faceted shank. A second key features a tiered, architectural bow with a hexagonal shank and small circular decorative indentations along the side. The third key has a scrolled bow and a turned shank. Each key is finished with a large, complex bit. The set is intended for decorative use as wall art or a conversation piece rather than as functional hardware. The mounting ring is constructed of heavy brass wire and utilizes a simple hook-and-eye closure mechanism. No maker marks or hallmarks are present.
