Ornate Vintage Key Illustration - Historical Lock & Key Design #3861502 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts a highly ornamental skeleton key, characteristic of 19th-century European design. The bow features Baroque-inspired scrollwork, while the bit ends in a trefoil cut; a delicate chain suspends a padlock charm inscribed with Cyrillic letters “АДИКЕЯ” and a central emblem resembling a crowned lion or griffin. The overall style suggests a symbolic or ceremonial key rather than a functional one.
