The rectangular vitrine is constructed in wood and metal with a glazed front, enclosing rows of iron keys arranged in a dense, rhythmic grid against a warm ochre ground. The keys vary in form and period, from simple utilitarian shapes to more elaborate bow designs, creating strong visual interest and a rich sense of accumulated history.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe glazed front opens on hinges and is secured by two small side latches, allowing access to the interior. The upper section is crowned with a decorative wrought-iron crest, pierced and designed for hanging; however, due to the substantial weight of the piece, it should be supported with appropriate brackets or a reinforced mounting system.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAt once functional and decorative, this type of presentation reflects the pride of the craftsman’s trade, transforming a working collection into a display object. With its strong graphic repetition and material authenticity, it reads as both archive and artwork.\nStriking on a wall, it suits an entry, study, or workshop-inspired interior, where its scale and pattern create immediate impact. It also works well in a contemporary setting, where the grid of aged iron keys contrasts with clean lines and neutral surfaces, bringing texture, history, and a sense of collected time. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 47¼\" high x 31½\" Wide x 4¼\" deep  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 120cm high x 80cm Wide x 11cm deep \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53313647903058,"sku":"24402","price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC01233_ab77dca0-3e2e-4ee0-9d23-d8c838764b88.jpg?v=1777458645","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/substantial-key-collection-display-case-approx-95-keys-471-4-x-311-2","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
