Majestic Imperator keyring
A most unusual item, this keyring features the imperial coat of arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Emperor Franz Josef ruled his vast Empire, 1848 - 1916, from the age of 18 until his death at 86.
The Emperor was an ardent supporter of the railways. He frequently travelled through his large Empire in the Imperial Train, accompanied by his beloved Empress, Elizabeth. Sis, as she was affectionately known, loved travel. She claimed that "a destination only becomes desirable if a journey lies in between".
The imperial arms are laser cut into a glass cube which lights up at the touch of a button. This attractive feature is also practical, helping you locate a lock at night. The keyring is delivered in a satin cloth presentation box.
