AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This beautifully preserved antique fireproof safe was crafted by D. Duvilers Fils, (Ghent, Belgium). It is an authentic 19th-century piece and a fine example of Belgian craftsmanship from that era.

This safe is made entirely of solid iron and painted in an elegant wood-grain imitation finish, which was a popular decorative style for high-end safes in the late 1800s. It features ornate gilded details and a clearly legible original maker’s plate on the front. The safe is equipped with a double locking mechanism and still comes with its original keys.

It has been in the family for as long as we can remember, adding to its charm and provenance.

Dimensions:
- Height: 107 cm
- Width: 58 cm
- Depth: 48 cm

Condition:
- Very good original condition
- Fully intact and functional
- Paintwork shows some wear and minor damage consistent with normal use and age, which can be restored by the buyer (see last photos).
- No structural damage

Locking system: Combination lock with additional key lock

Very heavy (estimated around 500 kg)
Due to its heavy weight, collection by the buyer or specialized transport is required (arranged by the buyer).
Location: Laarne, Belgium.
