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 polished brass finish, this escutcheon is lovingly crafted from solid brass and polished 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: 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. For more information, please read our
Product Finishes guide.
