Mallory Wheeler Elongated Rose

Cast iron decorative door plate/rosette made by Mallory Wheeler. Cir. 1882. In the catalogue it is called an Elongated Rose due to the addition of extra decorative elements coming off of the rosette part. It is not meant to cover the keyhole area, but leaves space between the legs for a small keyhole cover. The plate measures 4h x 2 3/4w". It features Eastlake style decoration with swirling leaf motifs on a textured background.
