What a lovely safe, this came from a family who had it for generations. It was looking a bit tatty but was in great condition underneath the surface rust. Chubb safes are very well built and they are heavy for their size.
A lot of planning, time and effort was put into this safe with the new customer. The internal door was made with Asbestos so we had to =remove iut and make a new door. The customer also wanted the detailed logos replacing if possible, and due to the fine detail of the logos, we had to try source a company who made transfers and then trial & test a solution that worked.
We finished it a classic green with a Matt finish, and then kept teh interior in a tan with tan suede. We've restored the original Chubb brass plaque which displays the place of manufacture, Queen Victoria St, London. This safe has two shelves and no interior drawer. Both shelves can be removed to adjust the interior space. All pinstripes are hand applied in gold sign writing enamel. All brass been cleaned and polished to our usual high standards.
Safe is stamped 03.0.21 (1921?) and has serial number 71546
Size: (HxWxD) 530x435x405 (+60mm for handle)

Please note: Safes of this age, approximately 100years old will show signs of their age and build, even after our restoration. We believe each safe has its own character, and thats what makes them special. If you purchase one of our safes, its not a NEW safe, they were built without modern tools, you will see imperfections, ie. the hinges are metal on metal (no bearings) so they may squeak and some may scratch some paintwork at the bottom hinge.
