Allez Freres - Strongbox - Iron - Detailed description

Rare French safe from Allez Frères / A. Allez succr, Paris. Early 20th century. With a mechanical four-letter combination lock (known combination: K A S T) and a key mechanism. The door no longer opens. Stunning industrial patina. Ideal as a decorative piece or restoration project. Pickup only.

This impressive and authentic French safe is manufactured by the historic Parisian brand Allez Frères / A. Allez succr, a maker known around 1900–1930 for high-quality safes and burglary-resistant cabinets for offices, banks, and trading houses.
It is a heavy, robust, and fully original specimen with a characterful rust patina, peeling lacquer, and a beautiful industrial look. The safe is equipped with a mechanical four-letter combination lock and a keyhole system. The original combination (K A S T) is known, but the mechanism no longer functions: the door remains closed. Therefore the object is offered as a decorative piece or restoration project.
The original nameplate “Allez Frères / A. Allez succr / 41 rue St Martin / Paris” is present and clearly legible}
