Found at 1901 site. I think it might be brass with the red color

First thought an old sink or bathroom tub bottom fixture... but not from a 1901 site if related...? Still a thinkin"...?

I'm not sure, but my gut reaction is the center plate of a burner assembly for an oil lamp. That could be way off, that's just what came to mind.

Hi Nathan W,
I am thinking an Antique Brass Door Rosette?

Escutcheon for something. If it's red metal, probably copper. Brass is usually yellow in color, but, not always. Chemicals in the soil can change the surface color.

Can't tell from the pics if it's flat or slightly conical.
Is the hole the right size for a light bulb?

Could be. Several good theories

Size and shape appears right for the plate that goes on a door lock assembly and the knob sticks through.
