Group of three antique architectural locking mechanisms comprising a rectangular wood-mounted box lock with centered keyhole and metal escutcheon, an elaborately shaped iron rim or surface lock with pierced and molded ornamental detailing, and a larger exposed iron lock mechanism retaining its internal leverwork and hardware. The assemblage shows the substantial hand-worked construction associated with early architectural and furniture hardware, with the decorative example especially notable for its scrolling silhouette and sculptural surface treatment. Comparable antique wrought-iron locks and rim-lock assemblies are typically collected both as functional restoration hardware and as decorative examples of early metalwork. All three exhibit considerable age-related wear, oxidation, surface rust, scratches, grime, losses to original finish, and evidence of old use; completeness and working status have not been tested, and no keys are present in the photographs. Measure 5"H x 6"W, 5"H x 12"W and 6"H x 9"W.
