Two circular escutcheons are included, featuring embossed concentric scroll and circle patterns. A brass valve body within the associated hardware is stamped with DORF in capital letters above a downward-pointing arrow. Spout length: 5.5 inches Pipe length: 6 inches Escutcheon diameter: 2.5 inches The faucet set is in good vintage condition with the general character of wear consistent with previous installation. The gold-plated finish on the primary fixtures exhibits light surface scratches, minor pitting, and small areas of finish loss.

Internal plumbing components, including the brass valves and flexible supply lines, show significant mineral deposits and green verdigris. The set is untested for operational functionality and professional inspection of internal gaskets is recommended.
