Bring a piece of revolutionary history to your desk with this finely crafted cast iron reproduction of the Key to the Bastille, one of George Washington’s most treasured historical artifacts.

In 1790, the Marquis de Lafayette sent the original key to George Washington as a symbol of liberty and their shared revolutionary ideals. Thomas Paine personally delivered the key to Washington, and it remains on display in the Mansion’s central passage at Mount Vernon.

Featuring a historic design and meaningful connection to the American and French Revolutions, this reproduction makes a distinctive desk accessory, collectible, or functional paperweight. It is a thoughtful gift for history enthusiasts, collectors, and admirers of George Washington.
