Being restored to a customers specification.
History: John Port of Manchester was a notable safe maker active in the 19th century, with records of his work extending back to at least 1840. His safes were highly regarded for their fire-resistant qualities and were constructed using hand-formed steel, which contributed to both their security and durability.
John Port’s safes often featured brass plates bearing the City of Manchester Arms—specifically the lion and unicorn motif—which became a hallmark of his craftsmanship. His workshop was located on Mill Street in Ancoats, Manchester.
While not as large as the leading national safe manufacturers, John Port was recognised among the important regional safe makers of the Victorian era. His products are now valued for their historical charm and as collectible examples of early British safe-making

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.
