An escutcheon is an item of door
furniture surrounding a keyhole or lock cylinder and is usually
architectural. Victorian Escutcheons are mainly decorative. These
Escutcheons draw the eye to the keyhole, but some help to protect a lock
cylinder from drilling, snapping etc. The group of Victorian escutcheons
are exact replicas of antique ones. From the highly decorative, flowery
styles to the heavy, angular styles, the Escutcheons complement most
Victorian patterns. The Victorian Escutcheon is stamped from various
metals, especially solid brass, just as the old ones were. They are
complete with one back plate, one bail, two posts, and two nuts. Each
die is a faithful copy of an antique Victorian Escutcheon. Victorian
Escutcheon are made out of other metals, which has different finishes.
Victorian Escutcheons are available in various shapes and sizes and
patterns and the embossing is quite detailed. In addition to doors,
these Escutcheons are often used on contemporary or Southwestern style
cabinetry, and even Arts & Crafts furniture. Victorian Escutcheons
can be covered or opened.
