About the Item

Regimental cash box. Iron. Possibly Germany, 18th century. It has faults. Rectangular safe with a flat lid containing the top bolt mechanism (which has a simple mechanism to cover the keyhole; this was usually hidden behind a decorated lid, not seen here). It also has handles on the sides, with two flat elements and two half rings on the front, which would likely have been used to lock the safe. This means that three different keys would be required to access the interior of the safe, ensuring it is protected against theft and increasing the likelihood of use by an organization. Also note the carved decoration on the lid, featuring simple geometric shapes and the yellow polychrome. Remains of a heraldic shield can be seen in the middle of the front. The most obvious feature of this heraldic shield is a double-headed eagle with a closed crown at the top and a heraldic shield with elements in the center of its body. This bird was used by the Holy Roman Emperor between 1433 and 1806, among others. It was also used by the Austrian Empire (whose coat of arms was created in 1815, following the Congress of Vienna). Weight: 70 kg. · Size: 83x42x46 cms International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.

There is a fantastical quality to this casket lockbox with its dramatic presentation. It has brass rings with lions' (or wolves) heads and a latch/escutcheon. The size and complexity of the latch suggest that it was designed to keep prying hands away. But it has a very interesting look that many people will like. The style and appearance suggest Continental origins, and appraisers say it was produced in the 18th century or earlier. The baroque casket...
