Description

Fastener from a chest or iron cabinet formed by two articulated pieces. One part, in the form of a ring, would be inserted through axes inside the wooden door. The second piece would be held through the ring, and was articulated. This piece has an elongated rectangular shape with an arched end so that it can be held. In the lower area of the internal face that would be in contact with the furniture, a small piece protrudes and would adjust to a notch in the furniture, thus allowing it to be closed.
