While you will see escutcheons throughout the website, here they are all collected together. We hope it makes it easier to find what you are looking for.
We have an extensive line of solid brass Chippendale escutcheons, over twenty styles. Several are available in two matching plate sizes; perfect for matching drawer pulls on a suite of furniture.
Hand chased brasses date back to 1680-1760, and are some of the earliest American hardware. As early furniture began to incorporate decorative elements, the brasses followed suit. Chasing was placed individually, by hand stamping a design with a hand made punch.
These hand chased pulls are very early and can often be found on museum pieces that date from 1670-1730. Delicate wire bails (the handles) and matching escutcheons were commonly found on highboys, tall chests and 'wedding chests.'
Quality: the quality of your furniture matters, so should your hardware. We use solid brass because it lasts forever.
