I'm guessing it may be ornamental and perhaps not an actual working key.

German / North Italian strongbox key. 1750 - 1850 in date. Typical example, quite nice.

I think this key is earlier, probably 1600-1700 strongbox key. It's got a very intricate key bit. Very nice key.

Recently saw it on eBay.fr priced at Euro 500 (?)

saijinte, I am Chinese, are you?

it is from northern italy or austria,
between 16th and 18th century,
it was mostly used for a furniture.
