Beehive Ebonised Wood Brass Escutcheon

Beehive Ebonised Wood & Brass Escutcheon

Complete your traditional door furniture with this beautifully crafted Beehive Ebonised Wood & Brass Escutcheon. Designed to perfectly complement matching ebonised wooden door knobs, this elegant escutcheon combines the rich appearance of ebonised wood with the warmth of unlacquered brass to create an authentic period finishing touch.

The escutcheon features a classic beehive-turned ebonised wooden cover mounted onto a beautifully shaped solid brass backplate. The decorative cover fits neatly over the keyhole, while the brass backplate secures firmly to the door with concealed screws, providing a smart and durable finish.

Crafted with an unlacquered brass backplate, this escutcheon naturally develops a rich patina over time. Consequently, the brass gains character as it ages, complementing the deep black finish of the ebonised wood. Alternatively, occasional polishing will help retain the brighter brass appearance if preferred.

Whether restoring a Victorian or Edwardian home, renovating a Georgian property, or introducing traditional details into a modern interior, this elegant escutcheon provides a timeless finishing detail. Pair it with the matching Beehive Ebonised Wood Door Knobs to achieve a coordinated and authentic period look.

Why Choose a Beehive Ebonised Wood & Brass Escutcheon?

A Beehive Ebonised Wood & Brass Escutcheon is an important finishing detail that enhances the appearance of traditional door furniture. Not only does it conceal and protect the keyhole, but it also creates a harmonious look when paired with matching ebonised door knobs and other period ironmongery.

Furthermore, the striking contrast between the deep black ebonised wood and the warm brass backplate creates a timeless combination that suits both restored period properties and homes inspired by classic design. As the unlacquered brass matures, it develops a beautiful natural patina, adding even more character over time.

Unlacquered Brass Care

Because the backplate is crafted from solid unlacquered brass, it will naturally darken and mellow with age. However, if you prefer to maintain a brighter finish, occasional polishing with a suitable brass cleaner and a soft cloth will keep the brass looking its best.
