I've found various chest & document box escutcheon plates on sites over the years, they come in all shapes and sizes too. :thumbsup:
Yours looks to be made of heavy cast brass, as opposed to stamped brass.
Date wise I'd say mid 19thc... nice find.

ANTIQUARIAN, thanks a bunch. I didn't think of an escutcheon plate as the couple I found in the past had a key hole. The piece is thin and was made wavy, so could be stamped. Does that change the date or do you think it is still late 19th century?
