Ancient handmade locks

I couldn’t resist sharing these extraordinary, handmade ancient locks from India, each one carefully handpicked and paired with silk sari ribbon for this collection. My love for ancient craftsmanship runs deep, and I’ve always been fascinated by how objects are expertly assembled using cold joins instead of soldering. In fact, I even wrote a book on cold joins!

Each lock is truly one-of-a-kind, handmade with a matching forged key that actually works. While they all share a similar size and style, each lock is unique in its own powerful way. Your piece will be a delightful surprise—similar, yet totally unique.
