A Queen Anne Victorian door latch is typically decorated in an intricate and ornate manner, reflecting the elaborate design style of the era. The latch plate, which is attached to the door frame, usually features intricate scrollwork, floral motifs, or geometric patterns. It may also have a decorative keyhole cover or escutcheon, often adorned with delicate engravings or relief designs. Additionally, the latch handle itself may be embellished with intricate detailing, such as floral or foliate carvings. The latch hardware is commonly made of brass or other metals, which can further contribute to its decorative appeal by featuring a polished or antiqued finish.
