  A unique piece of very Deco Egyptian Revival hardware from the early 20th century, cast iron in original paint finish.  Photo below right shows maker's signature in bottom right "LVCo" - possibly the Louis Vuitton Co.  Famous for his leather luggage and handbags but also sought after for many accessories including men's ties and belts.  The unusual flat extension of these hooks leads us to believe this to be either a belt and/or a tie hanger.  Beautifully cast detail of an Egyptian sphinx resting in front of a pyramid with columns behind.  Measuring 12 1/4" across x 7 5/8" high overall.  The hooks are brass and measure 1 1/2" high and extend 2 3/4" ending with small round knobs.  Not restored, in cast iron with no break or chips.  The original paint shows some age spots and some minor loss, but overall is in remarkably good condition.  Colors are quite striking and very indicative of the time.

Reference # 200-812 One set of 4 latches Note: Sale of this item is not complete until you receive confirmation from us Quantity:

Four cast bronze latches, initialized with the letter "L", for Lorillard, circa 1890.  The Lorillard Tobacco Company was the oldest company that processed tobacco, cigars, and snuff in the U.S. founded in the 1760's in New York City by Pierre Lorillard the tobacco magnate and in business for the next 200 years.  These latches were probably off a large cupboard style humidor in one of their stores at the end of the 19th century.  Accompanying sign, pictured below, shows the location at 25-27 West 32nd Street, New York.  These latches have a stationary knob (1 1/2" diameter and extends 1 7/8") permanently secured on the back plates and are operated by the thumb press to the side of the knob- which retracts the latch.  Knob plates are 5" high x 1 1/2" at widest.  The set consists of two left hand and two right hand latches and have a 7/8" back set - bronze faces measure 4 1/2" x 7/8".  We are offering four knob plates in cast bronze, four original latches specifically for this type of catch and the Lorillard sign (5" x 1 1/4") in cast bronze in one lot.  These items are not restored and are in their original patina.
