Beehive Escutcheon – Oak & Unlacquered Brass

Complete your traditional door furniture with this elegant Escutcheon in solid oak and unlacquered brass. Designed to perfectly complement our matching oak beehive wooden door knobs, this beautifully crafted escutcheon provides an authentic finishing touch while neatly concealing the keyhole.

The escutcheon features a classic beehive-turned oak cover mounted onto a beautifully shaped solid brass backplate. The brass is supplied unlacquered, allowing it to develop a natural patina over time. Consequently, it will age gracefully, creating the rich character associated with original period ironmongery.

Ideal for Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, and country-style interiors, this Escutcheon is perfect for both restoration projects and new homes seeking traditional craftsmanship. Furthermore, the combination of natural oak and warm brass complements a wide range of timber doors and classic door furniture.

Why Choose a Beehive Escutcheon?

A Beehive Escutcheon is a small but important finishing detail that enhances the appearance of traditional doors. Not only does it protect and neatly frame the keyhole, but it also creates a cohesive look when paired with matching beehive door knobs and other period ironmongery.

The combination of natural oak and unlacquered brass offers timeless appeal. Moreover, as the brass gradually develops its own unique patina, the escutcheon becomes even more characterful, making it an excellent choice for heritage properties and sympathetic renovations.

Please Note

The solid brass backplate is supplied unlacquered. As a result, it will naturally darken and develop a rich patina over time. If preferred, the original bright finish can be maintained with occasional polishing.
