A wonderfully evocative antique metal lock box, circa 1910, rich with timeworn character and industrial charm. Crafted from sheet metal and finished in a naturally aged patina, this piece bears the honest marks of use accumulated over more than a century—subtle surface wear, softened edges, and tonal variations that speak to its history rather than detract from it.
The box features a sturdy hinged lid, original metal handle, and front locking clasp, giving it a purposeful, utilitarian presence that feels both authentic and sculptural. Its muted gray-green surface and simple, unadorned form make it exceptionally versatile, fitting seamlessly into industrial, vintage, masculine, or curated modern interiors.
Measuring 11.5 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 5 inches high, this lock box is ideal for use as a desk accessory, office or library décor, document storage, or display object. Equally compelling styled on a bookshelf, credenza, or tabletop, it adds texture, weight, and a sense of narrative to any space. Good antique condition with indents and signs of wear/handling. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.
A striking example of early 20th-century functional design, this antique lock box offers both visual impact and historical appeal—perfect for collectors, decorators, or anyone drawn to objects with enduring character and presence.
