These keys were commonly used for early Japanese colonial and Republic of China era cypress wood wardrobes, chests, drawers, money boxes, etc. Besides brass, the old keys were also made of cast iron, or formed by bending sheet metal. These are genuine Taiwanese vintage pieces. Each key bears the marks of human use, with signs of rust, oxidation, and patina. The teeth of the keys are no longer sharp, softened by time and wear, their edges becoming more rounded and smooth, adding to their rustic beauty. This patina of age is inimitable. Beyond their function of locking and unlocking, these old keys truly represent the stories and secrets of human connection hidden behind them. Even across different times and spaces, holding an old key in your hand, do you not feel a boundless space for imagination? Do you not feel transported back in time to savor that emotion?
