Achieve the perfect finish for your doors with our classic oval Whatfield Eschutchon Plate that will protect your keyhole and offset your 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.
The term escutcheon comes from the Latin for shield and was first used to describe shield shaped emblems on heraldry and coats of arms in Medieval Europe. Over time, as people wanted more privacy and the use of doors became more common, escutcheons were adapted to refer to the small, functional shields that were used to protect keyholes from wear and tear and banish draughts.
Shown above in our nickel finish, this escutcheon is lovingly crafted from solid, natural brass and nikel plated for a bright, 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.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Dimensions: 5H x3W (cms)
Finish: Nickel - our nickel finish has a bright, silvery quality that is more akin to Chromium than many other nickel finishes available elsewhere. Its lustre is created by plating solid brass with highly polished nickel then finishing it with a flash coating of chrome that will add to its durability. Nickel is a versatile finish that looks equally at home in a modern property as it does a period one and being highly reflective, will catch the light more than our painted finishes, so is great to use if you want to make a statement, as it will help draw your eye.
