Description

View Vintage Cast Brass Door Rosette Pair Triangle Brass/Trimco Oversized 10" Rare with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. •Original manufacturer label reads: "Item No. New Old Stock (NOS) — an exceptionally large and heavy solid cast brass decorative door rosette/escutcheon, manufactured by Triangle Brass Mfg. Co. of Los Angeles, California — the original name of Trimco, a commercial architectural hardware manufacturer still operating today, founded in 1949. This piece came from old hardware-store inventory that sat in storage, unused, for over 25 years, complete with its original manufacturer label (shown in photos). Details: •10" diameter — significantly larger than a standard residential door rosette (which typically runs 2"–3") •Approximately 7 lbs — solid cast brass, not a lightweight stamped or plated piece •Ornate acanthus leaf/floral design, deeply cast with rich detail •Original manufacturer label reads: "Item No. F.217, Escutcheon, Universal Finish - US5, Triangle Brass Mfg. Company, Los Angeles, California" Given the unusual size and weight, this piece was almost certainly a custom or special-order item, likely made for a grand entrance door on a bank, courthouse, hotel, or other institutional building where a standard-size rosette would look undersized. This is a genuinely rare find for architectural salvage collectors, commercial-building restoration projects, or anyone seeking a statement piece of American hardware history. As true NOS, the unlacquered brass shows natural tarnish typical of decades in storage — this is not damage or use, just the natural patina of age. Please review all photos closely as they represent actual condition. Category: Antiques › Architectural & Garden › Hardware › Door Knobs & Handles.
