More Brass Work

Before we finished the door hardware upstairs we put the finishing touches on some of the decorative brass pieces. Here are a couple of escutcheons* that go behind the doorknobs. They don't match, but plenty of stuff in this house doesn't.

We also cleaned up the crystal, porcelain, and brass doorknobs (at least one set of each). They were all paint-splattered like everything else, but they cleaned up easily enough. It was also a good opportunity to replace some of the fiddly little screws holding everything together.
