Safe with secret lock, Central European School, 16th Century

Descriptio Riveted iron with polychrome painted decoration. Measures 14 x 24 x 15 cm. A rare rectangular safe assembled entirely with rivets and equipped with a sophisticated internal secret locking mechanism. The four exterior faces are decorated with stylized plant and fruit motifs in ochre, reddish, and brown tones, executed according to the Central European folk tradition of the 16th century.

Oxidation, paint loss, and natural wear accentuate the piece’s historical authenticity and reinforce its powerful aesthetic presence. 14 x 24 x 15 cm. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU).
