EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Miquelet Lock from the late 17th century. Made of steel and adorned with intricate gold and silver inlays, this masterpiece is a testament to the skill and artistry of Spanish craftsmen during this era. The lock, measuring approximately 11.80 cm in height, 10.80 cm in width, and 3.20 cm in depth, weighs an impressive 52 kg. It is currently housed at the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The inscription on the plate reads "AVS/TRIA" while "En Cordova" can be found on the frizzen. These details add an air of mystery to this already fascinating piece. This Miquelet Lock was generously gifted to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, further enhancing its historical significance. A symbol of power and protection, this steel lock served as a vital component for firearms during that time period. Its engraved design showcases meticulous attention to detail and reflects both functionality and beauty. As you admire this remarkable work of art captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, take a moment to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical importance within weaponry history - a true treasure preserved for generations to come.
