Cremone bolts are one of my favorite types of hardware. It is a type of hardware use to close doors or windows. It has vertical rod that runs the length of the cabinet and is used to secure the cabinet. It has a knob in the middle that twists and moves the bolt up and down to lock the cabinet. They are most commonly seen in French and other European cabinetry and windows.
I believe they started off for closing windows and doors in 18th century France. Below is the kitchen belonging to Frederic Fekkai, photo by Simon Watson as featured in Architectural Digest. As you keen see, there is a cremone bolt to close the window.
