Abstract
A faucet escutcheon and mounting member therefor includes an escutcheon having a generally central opening for a faucet body and a defined shape surrounding the faucet body opening. The mounting member has a defined shape similar to that of the escutcheon and dimensionally smaller whereby the mounting member is located within the confines of the escutcheon when both are mounted on a sink deck. The mounting member has a plurality of outwardly extending flexible fingers in yielding contact with the interior of the escutcheon whereby when said escutcheon and mounting member are positioned on a sink deck there is essentially no movement therebetween.
