Keyhole Plaques
Maybe it was the wine
We were strolling the antiques fair in
Avignon when we met a man selling replacement escutcheons—you know, those tiny inlaid pieces surrounding the keyholes in antique dressers.We loved them. And since we sell
so many key accents, why not keyholes?
And the more wine we drank, the better
we liked the idea.
Okay, there may have been wine involved when we decided to turn the tiny original escutcheons shown here into oversized plaques. And, of course, it took awhile to get them exactly right (about the time it took to get over our hangovers). But, when you compare the originals to our solid bone versions, you'll appreciate what a big idea it turned out to be. |
