This lot comprises an assortment of architectural door hardware in the Art Deco style, dating to circa the 1930s. The collection features a distinctive lightning bolt or zig-zag lever design. The matching rectangular backplates are decorated with characteristic tiered, stepped geometric motifs at the upper and lower edges. Each escutcheon is pierced with a standard mortice keyhole and four countersunk holes for mounting. The pieces are constructed from chrome-plated metal, likely over a brass or similar base alloy. This specific geometric pattern was a popular element of 1930s suburban British domestic architecture. No manufacturer marks are visible on the exterior surfaces of the items.
