It is highly-textural, decorated all-over with flowers and fine, swirling, baroque forms— a pair of blooms rest at the center of the pattern. This padlock would have originally been used as the focal piece for a bracelet or necklace, and (as a clasp) to connect its two ends. We love a heart-shaped lock, for its clear symbolic sentiment. It is rare to find a period lock with a functioning key mechanism, and rarer yet to find it with its key. Struck 14k on the lock's hoop.
