Description

The French Cast Iron Strong Box by Bauche is a prime example of exceptional craftsmanship and is presented in a raw polished iron finish.


It boasts a beautifully detailed Royal Coat of Arms for the United Kingdom mounted on the front, along with the words Bauche Brevete S.G.D.G, which stands for Breveté Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement or patent without government guarantees. The motto “Dieu et mon droit” (god and my right) is written in the centre of the box, adding to its aesthetic appeal.

The perimeter of the box is heavily fortified with extensive riveting, making it virtually impenetrable. It also features a sturdy carrying handle to the top, enabling easy transportation. The lock mechanism is visible on the left-hand side of the front door, and the box can be easily unlocked using its large original key. The interior is lined with padded emerald green velvet, providing perfect storage space for fine pieces.

Originally designed for travelling with important documents or valuables, the French Cast Iron Strong Box by Bauche is incredibly durable and difficult to break into due to its weight. The box is also incombustible, which further supports its fantastic ability to keep objects safe inside, even during a fire.

In summary, the French Cast Iron Strong Box by Bauche is a work of art that not only looks stunning but also provides exceptional security for valuable possessions. Its durability, fireproof nature, and padded interior make it an ideal storage solution for precious items. Whether for personal or professional use, this strong box is a highly coveted item for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
