Safe, patented Bauche system, manufactured in Gueux, Marne, - Lot 22
Safe, patented Bauche system, manufactured in Gueux, Marne, in working condition, complete with key, 36 x 26 x 19 cm. Note: History: Alexandre Fichet, founder of the company, opened his first locksmith shop in Paris in 1825. The year 1829 marked a crucial turning point in the history of locks: the principle of pick-proofing was established with the introduction of a pick-proof pump lock (patent no. 3883 on March 29, 1829). In 1840, Fichet created its first modern fireproof safe: a double-walled, all-steel safe with a lock operated by a “FICHET” key. The company opened two additional facilities, in Lyon and Marseille. Henri Bauche, owner of a refractory brick factory, began manufacturing safes in 1864 in Gueux, in the Marne region. Bauche’s design was different: instead of a wooden box covered with sheet metal or iron strips, Bauche proposed a safe consisting of two seamless iron boxes, bolted and riveted together, with refractory material placed between them. In 1967, Fichet and Bauche merged and transferred their operations to the Bazancourt plant (Marne). Together, they produced safes, fireproof cabinets, security cabinets, and other products.
