French Brass Escutcheons Antique Ornate Keyhole Covers Set of 2 31012416

French brass escutcheons

This matched pair of antique French brass escutcheons represents authentic French metalwork craftsmanship sourced from traditional brocantes. These ornate keyhole covers demonstrate the sophisticated artistry that characterized French decorative hardware from past centuries.

The brass construction displays intricate scrollwork and botanical motifs throughout the decorative framework. Each escutcheon features flowing curves and detailed relief work that forms elaborate patterns around the central keyhole opening. The aged patina indicates genuine antiquity and shows the natural darkening that develops on brass over decades of use.

Each piece measures 6.5cm x 6.5cm (2.6" x 2.6"), making them suitable for period furniture restoration or decorative applications. The matching set shows consistent wear patterns typical of authentic antique hardware. Small mounting holes are visible at specific points for secure installation.

Originally designed to protect and conceal keyholes on armoires, cabinet doors, or chateau furniture, these escutcheons would complement restoration projects requiring authentic French period hardware. They represent the French tradition of incorporating artistic elements into functional household items.
