This version in our traditional beeswax finish is made from high quality steel and features a classic oval surround with a hinged flap and 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. Kindly note, We do not recommend the beeswax finish for bathrooms or outdoor use as it will rust in a humid environment. We suggest matt black is a better option .PRODUCT INFORMATIONDimensions: 4.2H x 2.6W x 0.5D (cms)Finish: Beeswax - a traditional metalworking technique used since Tudor times.
