The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A twin spring bolt latch from 17th-century France is a surface-mounted wrought iron locking mechanism featuring dual spring-tensioned bolts for securing doors or gates. Hand-forged by skilled blacksmiths, these mechanisms frequently incorporate decorative engraved faceplates alongside intricate internal levers.

These locks were crafted entirely by hand from wrought iron, shaped over anvils using chisels, files, and hammers. The moving components relied on hand-tempered iron springs, while decorative plates were customized using hand-chiselled foliate engravings.

Authentic pieces feature visible hand-hammering marks, slight structural asymmetries, and hand-cut threads or rivets rather than uniform machine production. Engraved ornamentation typically reflects period-specific French styles, accompanied by natural surface oxidisation and wear.

Mounted on a modern hardwood display base, an antique lock functions as a sculptural object for display on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece. It can also be re-fitted onto a custom timber door to serve as a functional historical focal point.

To prevent corrosion, store or display the item in a low-humidity environment and clear dust using a soft dry brush. Applying a thin coat of microcrystalline wax preserves the existing patina and guards the iron against atmospheric moisture.
