Antique Victorian Rococo Brass Keyhole Escutcheons – Large Decorative Furniture Plates (Pair)
.
Bring a touch of authentic Victorian elegance to your furniture or interior with this beautiful pair of antique brass keyhole escutcheons, richly detailed and full of period character.
.
Measuring an impressive 14cm long x 5cm wide, these substantial decorative backplates feature flowing Rococo-inspired scrolls, shell motifs and acanthus-style flourishes. Their generous size suggests they once adorned a quality piece of furniture — perhaps a wardrobe, cabinet, tallboy or writing desk — where both function and ornament were equally important.
.
Cast in solid brass, the plates display a wonderful deep, aged patina, with warm golden highlights emerging through darker tones developed over decades of use. The reverse shows natural oxidation consistent with genuine age, adding to their authentic timeworn charm.
.
The classic keyhole opening is designed for traditional furniture locks, and fixing holes remain at the top and bottom for secure mounting. Offered as a matching pair, they are ideal for restoration projects or as decorative accents in period-inspired interiors.
.
Condition
Good antique condition with age-related wear, surface patination and marks consistent with use and age. No visible breaks or repairs. Unpolished to preserve original character.
