An escutcheon pin is a decorative nail featuring a round, domed head made of steel and plated with brass.

This design adds a stylish finish to various woodwork and hardware applications.

The brass plating provides both aesthetic appeal and resistance to corrosion.

To use escutcheon pins, position the pin at the desired spot on the wood surface where you want to attach escutcheons, label-card holders, or other decorative hardware.

Tap the pin gently with a hammer until the round, domed head is flush with the surface.

They are commonly used for fastening decorative hardware to wood surfaces, such as attaching hardware to jewelry boxes.

Escutcheon pins can also be used for securing small decorative elements, such as trims or inlays, to wooden surfaces.

They are effective for attaching hardware to fine furniture or cabinetry, and can be used in crafting projects to add decorative details.

Additionally, they can be employed in vintage or antique restoration to maintain a classic aesthetic while securing hardware.
