On offer is an antique brass or bronze safe lock escutcheon designed to mount around the keyhole on a safe door. This decorative antique safe lock escutcheon features a finely cast figure of Britannia holding a spear and shield, accompanied by the British lion, symbolising strength and security. The lower section slides smoothly to the right, revealing the keyhole beneath, an ingenious feature that protected the lock while adding an impressive decorative element.

The front is marked J Cartwright’s Invincible Powder Proof Lock, a name associated with quality British lock making during the Victorian period. It remains in good original condition with honest wear commensurate with age and retains an attractive aged patina. A fascinating and unusual piece of antique safe furniture that would appeal to collectors of locks, safes and architectural antiques.
