Development history of safe deposit box (1)

Safe Deposit Box are believed to have originated in Europe. At that time, Safe Deposit Box were just thick wooden boxes with iron rings. The samples of this ancient wooden box are still preserved in the Cathedral of Chichester, England. The Safe Deposit Box is 9 feet long, 2 feet high, and 2 feet deep. It is made of 2 inches thick wooden boards and is about 1,000 years old. This is probably the oldest safe in existence. In medieval European paintings, you can occasionally see a wooden cabinet with gold and silver jewelry and metal edging, which is the prototype of a Safe Deposit Box. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century about 200 years ago that with the growth of social wealth, there was a real market demand for safes. European manufacturers of specialized locks began to turn to the safe industry. In 1818, the Chubb lock and safe manufacturing plant was established in London.
