Description from the seller

Small travel safe from the latter half of the 20th century, of French manufacture. The safe is entirely made of metal and finished with studded frames, a handle on the top, and a side opening with the original key and a working lock. Thanks to its compact size, the safe is very decorative and fascinating. Being entirely metal, it is quite heavy, about 10 kg, with dimensions: height 17 cm, width 29 cm, depth 20 cm.

The condition is good, with some paint loss and signs of wear; I note two cracks in the lower frame which, however, do not affect the structure because it is reinforced all around with studs to preserve its integrity.
