About the Item
This 19th-century English iron strongbox, crafted by Thomas Milner & Son of Liverpool, is an exceptional example of secure storage from the Victorian era. Renowned for their high-quality construction and innovative security features, Thomas Milner & Son were leading manufacturers of safes and strongboxes. This piece, mounted on a later stand, exemplifies the robust craftsmanship and practical design that the company was famous for. The box features a pair of strong iron handles on either side and another mounted to the lid for opening the box. A heavy weighted lid, locking system and British coat of arms to the front plaque.
During the 19th century, Thomas Milner & Son were at the forefront of safe manufacturing in England, known for their pioneering use of iron and their patented security mechanisms. Strongboxes like this one were essential for safeguarding valuables, especially in an era where banks were not as widespread. This piece reflects the industrial advancements and the growing importance of personal security in Victorian England.
