Description: | Cast copper alloy furniture escutcheon plate which would have been used with a handle pull in order to pull open a drawer or cupboard in a piece of furniture. The escutcheon plate is in the form of a six-pointed fleuret or rosette and has six moulded petals around the central aperture, with six moulded pointed leaves behind the petals, which each form an apex. The circular aperture is 6 mm in diameter and would have allowed a drop handle to be fitted to a central loop or a knob to be screwed to the wooden drawer or handle. The back of the escutcheon plate is flat and undecorated.Bailey (2003) illustrates similar escutcheon plates with central apertures and petals and pointed fleurets on pages 20-21, nos.48 & 59, which are dated from the late 17th to the 18th century.
