Description

First up is a freshly polished brass keyhole escutcheon plate dripping with Aesthetic Movement personality, featuring a swiveling cover, floral rosettes, geometric banding, and an ornate scrollwork bottom drop, all in sparkling condition. This piece retains its original keyhole cover on a pivot and shows the kind of hand-engraved detail that modern hardware can only dream about.

Next is a matching brass door knob back plate from the same Aesthetic Movement set, boasting a Gothic pointed arch top, intricate floral ring surrounding the knob hub, and repeating geometric and foliate motifs running the full length. The polished surface is bright and clean, making this a showstopper for anyone restoring a period home or building a hardware collection.

The third piece is the unrestored counterpart, showing the same elongated form with pointed top, knob hub opening, and keyhole cutout below, but wearing its original aged patina like a badge of honor. Dark, brooding, and full of character, this raw survivor gives you a before-and-after story in a single lot. All three pieces date to the late 19th century and appear to be cast brass, consistent with American or English production from the 1870s to 1890s.
