John Tann's Reliance Safe

Item Description

An early 20th-century John Tann's floor-standing Reliance safe, with original paintwork. H50cm x W40cm x D40cm.

Featuring in our upcoming Antiques & Interiors Sale on Wednesday, 5th August, is this exceptionally well-preserved early 20th-century John Tann 'Reliance' floor-standing safe. Surviving with its original paintwork and decorative finish remarkably intact, it is a great example of everyday security engineering that has retained both its character and authenticity.
