19th Century French Black and Silver Cast Iron Hobnail Studded Safe from Bauche
About the Item
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 a heavy handle on the top and is decorated with studded hobnails throughout. The front door is decorated with a plaque which reads "Incombustible Systeme Bauche Brevete SGDG Usine a Gueux Marne" engraved on the surface. The decorative box is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use and adorns a rich two-tone black and silvered 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.
