'It was something like a ring of rusty iron or brass and when the robin flew up into a tree nearby she put out her hand and picked the ring up.
It was more than a ring, however; it was an old key which looked as if it had been buried a long time.'
The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett
I have an extensive collection of antique and vintage keys in three sizes: small, medium and large. Each key is strung on to mink-grey plant-dyed silk ribbon by Northern Hands.
Hang on a hook near a doorway to add intrigue or as a quirky additon to a gallery wall.
They also make perfect Santa keys - a magic key for letting Santa into your home on Christmas Eve if you don’t have a chimney for him to come down.

Antique keys are great for adding an element of mystery and intrigue to an arrangement or for creating the magic of Christmas.
