Lock. 21, 2 x 10, 98 cm and its key 15, 5... - Lot 73 - Art Richelieu
Lock. 21, 2 x 10, 98 cm and its key 15, 5 cm. The inscription under the arcature of the foncet "je ne man capres les autres mais", warns of the secret of opening (a turn and a quarter of turn of the key to the right and then a quarter to the left). The high quality of the key, stem in third point caneté and the great smoothness of the pertuis promised a sumptuous ring. It remained rough which allowed the examination of mastery so that the new master finishes it to the taste of the patron who would finance his establishment in exchange for his masterpiece. The latter must not have found one either, like the one on page 53 of the 1924 catalog of the Musée Le Secq des Tournelles. Master piece lock with chiseled "je ne man capres les autres mais (I open only after the others but, ) warning about the opening secret; one and a quarter turn of the key to the right and a quarter turn left. The mastership exam tolerated that the bow of the key be unfinished. This allowed the new master to finish it to the taste of the sponsor he could find to finance his business. This one probably never found one just like the one page 53 of the Le Secq des Tournelles museum catalog of 1924. Meisterstück Schloss mit meißeligen "je ne man capres les autres" mais (Ich öffne nur nach den anderen, aber, ) Warnung vor dem Öffnen Geheimnis; eine und eine Viertel Drehung des Schlüssels nach rechts und ein Viertel biegen Sie links ab. Die Meisterprüfung tolerierte, dass der Schlüsselbogen unvollendet war. Dies ermöglichte es dem neuen Meister, es nach dem Geschmack des Sponsors zu beenden, den er finden konnte, um sein Geschäft zu finanzieren Dieser eine fand nie eine genau wie die eine Seite 53 des Le Secq des Tournelles Museumskatalog von 1924
