Art Nouveau Spelter Wall Candle Sconce
A beautiful single Victorian candle sconce in heavy spelter metal from the Art Nouveau era. It's 15 inches tall, depth from the wall to the candle bobeche is 8-1/2". At some point it was painted white, but the original finish appears to have been gilded. The narrow sconce has a lady's face in high relief at the center focal point, the candle cup is ornately engraved with floral motifs. There is some natural age wear to the paint as shown but the new owner may wish to completely strip it and restore the original finish. There are no breaks or repairs to the metal.
Circa: 1900

100 Piece Lot Antique Keys - Furniture, Padlock, Auto, Banks, More
A big collection of old and antique keys - brass, steel, and more for padlocks, trunks, door locks, car ignitions, furniture, trunks, toy bank or jewelry box locks, and who knows what else. There are 100 pieces in all, including a brass padlock marked Hardened and three old Utah license plate key charms. I'm sure the key to the lock is here somewhere but I didn't take the time to try them all to find the right one.
A few of the makers include Master, Yale, Russwin, Sargent, Barrows, Slaymaker, and American. There are quite a few with ornate and fancy designs, especially the Russwin and old Ford auto keys. My apologies for the rust on some of the keys. I soaked them in rust remover and had almost all of it cleaned off, but I didn't realize that rinsing them all together would re-rust them before I could get them all polished and dried.
Circa: 1900 - 1950s
Country of Origin: US
