Musgrave Lock, Sterling Silver

Two weird little 17th Century objects that I found on Portobello Road have inspired a new mechanism that we are launching and lovingly call the "Musgrave" after the name engraved on it. What caught my interest specifically was the idea of the two disks that spin in opposite directions to release a side of the piece which led us to the conclusion that it makes a perfect Lock but with some modifications of size and dimension and with a lever like handle that releases on the side. When we saw the first prototype and the fantastic tension of the "disks" we saw all the possibilities which meant gold and silver and pave and inlay

To open/close - Turn top dial to divet, arm will open, when the dial is released, it will go back to closed and locked position.
