19th Century French Black and Silver Cast Iron Hobnail Studded Safe from Bauche


$3,600

About

Keep your jewelry or important documents locked up in this fine, antique safe from the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. Crafted, circa 1880, the safe is cast iron and has a chic two-tone black and silver paint finish. The travel safe features two heavy side handles and is decorated with studded hobnails throughout. The front door is decorated with a carved medal under a crown, and the inside reveals storage area covered with felt. The top has the inscription “Incombustible Systeme Bauche Brevete SGDG Usine a Gueux Marne” engraved on the surface. The decorative box is in excellent condition with a rich patinated finish. Place the unique, secure safe in your office, study or even a men’s dressing room for a display of strength and heritage. Original key included. In 1879, Bauche demonstrated the efficacy of his fire safes with a live demonstration and several thousand francs emerged intact from a safe after having been repeatedly subjected to fire. Then the invention of the “ironclad” safe, both fire resistant and armor plated, in 1895 really made Bauche’s name. Fichet-Bauche is a brand of safes and vaults with its origins in France. It specializes in products which offer certified burglary protection and/or fire protection. The brand is widely sold and marketed in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and French speaking parts of Africa. Measures: 16.5″ W x 13″ D x 10″ H.
