DESCRIPTION Our simple, elegant Priory Escutcheon Plate is the perfect finish for your door, protecting your keyhole and setting off other brass fittings beautifully. Made from solid, natural brass and featuring a classic oval surround with a hinged flap, it will add decorative interest as well as keep out any draughts.The word escutcheon is derived from the Latin for 'sheild' 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. This Priory Escutcheon has been polished to create a bright, reflective look that will darken naturally over time.PRODUCT INFORMATIONDimensions: 4.2H x 2.6W x 0.5D (cms)Finish: Polished Brass - a beautiful natural finish that works well with any colourway indoors and outside and looks equally at home in a contemporary setting as a traditional one. The polished brass version creates a classic, bright look that will never date. The brass will darken naturally over time so will need to be buffed regularly with a small amount of brass cleaner to keep it bright and reflective.
