This heavy cast bronze door plate has a Persian motif being very ornate in both detail and shape! These escutcheons are made to go with the Niles Chicago hardware line with the large raised doorknob collar to accommodate the special doorknobs that go with the unusual mortise locks.
The mortise locks were made by the Chicago Hardware Company with the lock design patented by Milton & Sidney Niles in 1878 and 1880. The design allows for doorknobs to be installed without a spindle and is now referred to as “Niles Chicago”. There were minor changes to the design subsequent to the patents but what remains the same is that the locks, doorknobs and escutcheon plates are all constructed to work with this design only. They cannot be interchanged with other hardware manufacturers’ products.
