An 18th century "locked" binding with the original lock and key

[Locked binding]. Lockable book-register, blank.

€ 8,500.00

A curious book-register (once probably intended for use as a ledger) containing nearly 300 leaves of paper, never used. The binding features a perfectly working lock on the upper board, including its related key, so as to open and close the wallet wing (and therefore not to allow the consultation of the content, if sensible).

A very rare, fascinating and highly original item.
