Rosette ??

[Mac232]

I posted this in todays finds and will post here too . It appears to be made of copper and is approx. two inches round . The two holes on the side is why I,m thinking it,s not a rosette . Any and all help is appreciated . TIA

P.S. It is not flat ....... concave on the inside , the outside is raised up .

Holes make it a mount doesn't have to be a rosette.

I know it isn,t a rosette , but does anyone have a guess as to what it really is ?

It's hard to tell from the photo but the holes seem to be tapered. That to me indicates it was attached with screws. My guess is it was mounted on something as a decorative piece with the "S" signifying the company or brand.

Just my 2 cents.

The holes are slightly tapered and thanx for your reply Professor . Found at an older home place .

I agree with Daryl. Rosettes usually were lead filled with an attachment set into that lead. It is the right size for a rosette, but that is where the similarities end.

I would also say decorative. Perhaps from a piece of furniture or a trunk.

Decorative S it is then . Consider it solved . I would still like to see an example of one online if anyone finds another like it .
