Luxury Safes Company

By the second half of the 18th Century, safety chests would start being placed upright and equipped with doors.

Later, with the rapid changes in industrial and technological development of the 19th Century, and with the advancement of manufacturing as a whole, many new inventions, including a new generation of locks and safety devices, would appear.

Also, during that time, the newly invented steam engine begin being built in Germany. The railroad industry also gained great popularity. Further, during this time of rapid industrialization, a pioneer, Friedrich Krupp, opened the first steel-casting factory, located in Essen, Germany. And with the upswing in manufacturing, the constant inflow of new inventions, and further development in technology, financial capital was created. As wealth increased, so too did the demand for security.

Also, the 19th Century was a time of war and social tension across the world, and especially in Europe. During that time, financial transactions continued to be done in the form of cash - even despite the availability of banking. As a result of the Century's political instability, demand for security was at an all time high. Individual blacksmiths, locksmiths, and craftsman worked hours on end in order to keep up with the rate of demand for safety chests and containers - sometimes not being able to meet that demand.

A new process of accelerating the production of these safety devices became necessary. The result was that master craftsmen opened their own factories and began manufacturing safes. The process of manufacturing these beautiful safes was very complex, considering that one craftsman would hand-make his own safe, from start to finish.

When making the first safes, the first step was to take iron plates and weld them together at their seams. As time went on, these simple-constructed safes would evolve into elaborately designed works of art. Combining talent and centuries of European tradition in quality and craftsmanship, European craftsmen made very beautiful, unique safes - giving birth to true masterpieces. Artists and sculptors would also influence the appearance of safes. These artisans crafted special, unique designs; many following the classical artistic tradition that had already been in place when making the beautiful money chests from earlier times. Additionally, special closing mechanisms were constructed on these safes, making it almost impossible for an unwanted party to break into them.
