Thank you for viewing. This is a brass box-shaped lock believed to have been made from the late Qing dynasty to the early Republic of China period. The side features a "sword" design, which has a special meaning as a symbol of warding off evil and protection. The key is not a bar, but a bit key type with notches on the side. It has a "trick mechanism" that only opens if the internal levers are correctly aligned, making it highly secure and a rare type. It can still be opened and closed, and comes with a complete set of keys. It is a masterpiece recommended for antique collections, interiors, and display. 【Size】 Body: Width approx. 7.9cm Height 3.7cm Depth 1.8cm Weight: 163g Material: Brass 【Condition】 There are scratches and dullness due to aging, but overall in good condition.
