Our classic Priory Escutcheon Plate is the perfect finish for your door, protecting your keyhole and setting off other door fittings beautifully. Made from solid, natural brass or high quality forged iron, these escutcheons add decorative interest to your door as well as providing much needed protection. This version, in our gloss black finish is made from high quality steel and features a classic oval surround with a hinged flap to help keep out any draughts.
The word escutcheon is derived from the Latin for 'shield' and was originally used in Medieval times to describe the shield shaped emblems on coats of arms. Over time, as people wanted more privacy and the use of doors became more common, the term escutcheon was adapted to refer to the small, functional plates that were used to protect the keyhole from wear and tear.
Shown above in our gloss black finish, this escutcheon is lovingly crafted from high quality steel and painted in gloss black for a reflective appeal. All
Jim Lawrence products are made using traditional metal working techniques and are hand finished to the highest standards here at our Suffolk workshop.
