Foxcote Foundries - Standard Profile Covered Round Escutcheon - Black Antique

Description

The Foxcote Foundries Round Covered Escutcheon (FF06) is a traditional and highly practical door accessory, designed to combine aesthetic appeal with functional weather protection. Featuring a classic circular backplate and an integrated pivoting cover, this escutcheon is specifically engineered to block draughts and prevent dust from entering the lock mechanism. It is an essential component for those refurbishing period cottages, farmhouses, or any property where maintaining thermal efficiency and historic character is a priority.

Hand-finished by Foxcote Foundries using traditional sand-casting techniques, each FF06 escutcheon possesses a rugged, tactile patina that mass-produced hardware cannot replicate. The heavy-duty cast iron construction ensures a robust feel, while the resilient black powder coating provides a durable, rust-resistant finish. This makes it particularly suitable for use on external entrance doors as well as internal doors leading to cooler areas of the home, such as larders or cellars.
