Lockwood “Azex” Art Deco Brass Door Backplates – Set of 2

Description : Lockwood “Azex” Art Deco Brass Door Backplates – Set of 2
This pair of “Azex” pattern brass door backplates was manufactured by Lockwood Hardware Co. around 1932. Showcasing the unmistakable geometry of the Art Deco movement, these backplates feature stepped edges and vertical channel lines with a precise, machine-age aesthetic. Made from solid stamped brass, the design reflects Lockwood’s contribution to early 20th-century American hardware—combining form and function in a sleek, modernist silhouette. These plates were intended for use with standard mortise locks and are ideal for high-style restorations, film sets, or collectors of authentic Deco design.
