Description
Beautiful medium sized rare example of late 18th century Italian master blacksmith craftsmanship, this antique studded safe with typical all-around hobnails and great wrought iron details, is probably from the Piedmont region, has a great metal color with patina of time and solid wrought iron frontal geometric and more curved classical decors.The amazing lock and opening mechanism works with 2 keys and 2 special hooks. This tricky mechanism and combination starts with finding the releases hidden behind some decors to expose the key holes and then a secret sequence with levers and movements to follow with the keys allows to unlock the safe and open the door.
On request, the interior of the safe can be completely customized either with watch winders, as a cigar humidor cabinet or liquor dry bar lined in leather with LED lighting and a custom base to fit your home decor style can be ordered as well.
