This decorative safe features a Gothic architectural façade with religious figures in relief, resembling a miniature cathedral or shrine. These art-foundry strongboxes were used to store documents, jewelry, and family valuables. The interior retains its original wooden compartments, and the lock is functional. The original key is included; the key bow/head is separated but both original pieces are present, and the key shaft operates the lock properly. Dimensions: Height: 14 in Width: 13.3 in Depth: 9.5 in Weight: approx. Condition: Good antique condition with original patina and normal wear consistent with age. Interior wood compartments intact. This piece has been in the same family for approximately 100 years. A beautiful example of German art-foundry ironwork and Gothic Revival decorative design.
