About the Item

Hand-wrought iron safe hand-made in Italy in the early 1800s. The safe is made of thin sheets of iron folded and nailed together over a wooden case. Thicker bands of iron were then used to consolidate the structure. On the front the safe has a beautifully decorated door composed of different sheets of polished iron decorated with large rivets. As shown in the video, the rivets move to spring open the keyhole to open the safe. The internal locking mechanisms and key must are still original and work following a specific sequence of movements, shown in video. Overall this is a beautiful, medium-sized antique safe that could be walled as well as placed next to a sofa or a bed as a side table. Its patina is stunning and this is a piece that can be decorative while also being practical and most definitely a conversation starter.
