Very nice find. Warded barrel key for a warded cabinet or furniture lock. A warded lock could have been used to secure the clock cabinet but it is unlikely a warded key/lock would have been used for clock winding. The two mechanisms are different. MPO

Not sure on age but its one of the nicest keys I have seen. I believe the 'fish' handle represents stylised Dolphins (very much in the Romanesque form)

It would have been a ready fancy clock.
