Penn Gracia Exterior Door Plate

Penn Gracia Exterior Door Plate

Oversized exterior door plate made by Penn. Gracia Design. Cir. 1927. The door plate is shaped, almost like a shield with an acanthus leaf motif at the top and bottom. It is made of bronze. The door plate measures 10 1/2"l x 2 3/4"w. It has a 3 1/2" center to center distance between the doorknob hole and the keyhole. This door plate has some type of silvery finish over the bronze that we were unable to remove with our regular cleaning procedures. It has a very small ding on near the bottom left along the edge.

This Penn Gracia Exterior Door Plate is an antique item and may show wear due to age. This may include scratches, pitting, patina, finish loss, rust or other general wear. We attempt to include any significant damage beyond regular wear within the description. We make every effort to clean as much paint, dirt and rust off of items while still leaving as much of the original patina as possible. Photos shown are of actual item you will receive.
