This cast iron "White City Puzzle Safe" is a charming, miniature replica of a real safe. Crafted by Nicol and Co. in 1893, the safe features intricate details, including a clock face with Roman numerals and a depiction of the White City's iconic Administration Building, a key landmark of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The safe's diminutive size and intricate design make it a fascinating example of the decorative and functional artistry of the late 19th century.
