ObjectDoor Locks
Period18th century
StyleGeorgian
MaterialOak, Iron
ColourDark Brown, Rust
MotifsWrought iron key, Oak housing, Exposed bolt mechanism
SizeH 31 cm (12 in) x W 30 cm (12 in) x D 3 cm (1 in)

This Georgian antique box door lock and key dates to around 1800, fashioned from oak and iron with an original grained paint finish in dark brown and rust colours. The housing incorporates an exposed internal bolt mechanism, a hand-forged wrought iron key with an oval ring handle, and square metal reinforcement plates fixed with small metal nails. The piece measures 31 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. Suitable for use back on a period antique door in a rustic farmhouse interior, the working mechanism demonstrates authentic period craftsmanship with visible surface wear and oxidation on the metal components. The heavy wooden block holds the rusted iron key inserted directly through the central plate, while small visible screw fasteners secure the assembly at the corners.

FAQs

A Georgian oak rim lock is a surface-mounted locking device featuring an internal iron mechanism encased in a thick timber block, widely produced across Britain throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

These locks were crafted using dense native hardwoods such as oak or pine for the casing, combined with hand-forged wrought iron for the bolts, springs, strike plates, and bow keys.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut iron components, irregular hammer marks, hand-turned screws, and natural timber shrinkage or patination around the keyway and lock body.

These items serve as decorative objects when displayed on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or styled alongside architectural fragments in heritage and rustic interior schemes.

Maintain timber casings with clear beeswax polish, while metal components should be treated with microcrystalline wax to stabilize existing surface oxidisation without removing historic patina.
