Antique late 19th to early 20th century heavy iron padlock with decorative brass floral keyhole cover, estimated to date approximately c.1880-1920. This distinctive old lock features a heavy rounded iron shackle, riveted multi-plate body and an attractive raised floral brass escutcheon decorated with a flower, leaves and ornamental motifs. The decorative brass front piece is movable and swings aside to reveal the traditional keyhole underneath, an appealing feature for collectors of early locks and locksmith hardware. The naturally oxidized iron surface retains a strong untouched aged character, contrasting beautifully with the decorative brass fitting. Measures approximately 4 inches x 2.5 inches x 0.5 inch thick. No maker's name or identifying mark is visible. No key is included and the locking mechanism has not been tested. An excellent display piece for an antique padlock collection, primitive hardware collection, architectural salvage display, locksmith memorabilia, industrial décor or period hardware collection.
