Antique Brass Key With French Navy Tassel

2 available

A beautifully ornate antique French key, sourced in Paris, featuring an elegant brass bow with scrolling, crown-like detailing. The design is both functional and decorative, evoking the grandeur of 19th-century French craftsmanship. The stem shows a rich patina from years of use, while the bit remains intact — a tangible connection to the lock it once secured.

Attached is a luxurious blue and gold silk tassel, likely a later addition, which complements the key’s warm brass tones and enhances its display appeal. Together, they make a charming accent piece for a writing desk, curio cabinet, or shadow box — equally at home as a prop, collector’s piece, or decorative detail in a French-inspired interior.
