Security meets tradition!
Gun Cabinets are part and parcel of gun ownership, but why not store your prize weapons in style? We go back to the future to see what British firm 21st Century Antiques has to offer.
High-security gun cabinets are an essential part of owning firearms, whether they are for constant use or just part of a collection. But who says that high security has to mean an ugly metal cabinet hidden within your home, with difficult access?
21st Century Antiques has the answer to this problem. The company came up with their original ideas and concepts 40 years ago and manufacture secure gun cabinets disguised as fine antique furniture. It’s a novel idea, and one that is incredibly popular with gun owners and collectors.
All of their cabinets are constructed from high-security 3mm thick steels and are built and independently tested to BS 7558.
They incorporate multi-point locking using a high-security safe lock, are designed to hold scopes and also have fully lined interiors.
There are 11 different models in the company’s feature-rich range including their glass fronted display cabinets, each of which is available in a choice of 5 different wood finishes : mahogany, oak, cherry, yew and walnut.
One of the standout products in the range is the Model 305, the Double Library. This incredibly luxurious cabinet has a capacity for holding up to 11 guns, but the gun storage compartment is cleverly hidden behind a fully useable bookcase front.
Another highlight of the range is the Model 302, the Escritoire. The design of this piece of furniture is inspired by the 18th Century writing bureau and is reproduced by their craftsmen, this model has the capacity to hold up to 12 guns.
The Wellington, Model 301 is another big seller for the company. It is designed like an 18th Century chest of drawers and has a capacity for holding 7 guns and in addition has 3 useful shelves fitted internally on the right hand side.
