Two iron and ormolu locks in the Louis XVI style.
- The lock and its strike plate are in the form of a gendarme hat. Both are framed by a projecting moulding showing flutes held by ribbon bows.
- Between the strike plate and the lock, there is a chiselled ornament with a frieze of interlacing. The lock was held together with its strike by six chiselled paws in the form of a foliate fleuron (five of the six paws are missing).
The lock case has no keyhole, and is missing.
A handle (missing) operated the mechanism.
- Lock almost identical to the previous one, but with a classic mechanism (one bolt) with missing parts.
It has four (out of ten) fixing lugs and a handle which is not original.
