The Ludlow Foundries Fleur de Lys Standard Escutcheon Black Antique measures at 25mm x 84mm. This is to be used with a 3 or 5 lever mortice deadlock or sashlock; some of these can be found in the related products or in the Hinges, Locks & Latches category.
Malleable Wrought Iron Escutcheon
This escutcheon is made from malleable wrought iron and comes with a 10 year mechanical warranty. Regular maintenance is essential as malleable wrought iron is susceptible to rusting. We suggest frequent oiling of the antique black hardware and an occasional application of clear wax to maintain the glorious, rustic appearance. For these vary reasons, black antique furniture is not recommended for coastal areas, although it is often used on coastal properties.
It has a black antique finish which is to match the Ludlow Foundries door knobs on rose – some of these can be found in the related products.Â
Historical Design
Decorative ornaments similar to the Fleur de Lys have appeared in artwork from the very earliest civilizations. French for ‘lily flower’, the widely recognised design has appeared on numerous European coats of arms and flags over the centuries but it is mainly associated with the French monarchy.
