Door lock and its strike and handle with garland decoration, similar model for the Château de Sceaux. The roughly oval cast is framed by a waving garland of chased foliage in slight relief from which emerge two equally foliated branches dividing the surface of the cast into three compartments decorated with protruding tables in the form of a shield and two bonnets. In the centre of the cast is a protruding S-shaped handle with a rich ribbed pattern. On the side, under the handle, a small baluster button. Iron mechanism with three bolts. There is no key. Two bolts are operated by the handle, the third by the knob. XVIIIth century.
