* Depending on the lighting and background, the color  of the plate varies. All photos were taken outside.

* The last 2 photos show similar parts that we had  years ago. Just to give you an idea of how the knob which once sat on this  plate looks like.

What a rare find! Beautiful, antique, doorknob plate  (escutcheon) made by, "Sargent & Co." of New Haven, CT during the  1920's. It's made of solid, heavy, thick, cast bronze, not stamped or plated iron.

The plate has 2 holes: upper hole for doorbell and bottom  hole for knob. The 2nd to last photo shows one of these knobs (not available  for sale).

The plate was salvaged from the historic "Stevens  Hotel" in Chicago, IL. The hotel was built in 1927, cost $30 million  to build, and was the largest hotel in the world at that time.

The plate is embellished with a lovely wreath  pattern. The lovely details are enhanced by a subtle patina. If you  want a brilliant shine, all you'll need is some "Brasso," #0000  steel wood, and a little elbow grease.

The plate is in great condition with only a few nicks and scratches  here and there. Otherwise, there are no breaks, cracks, dents, or  deep scratches.

When the hotel was renovated in 1985, many of these  parts were available. Now, these parts rarely surface, and when they  do, they go quickly! Whether you are installing the plate in your  home, or adding it to your collection; an antique piece of hardware with such  radiant beauty and of such fine quality construction is a great  investment, which will only increase in value!
