Antique Chippendale Handles are a favorite style originally used in the late 1700’s on colonial furniture. This maple leaf shape is indicative of Chippendale handles which are known for their bold backplates. This much liked design was revived in the 1920’s. During the Colonial Revival Period, in America, they were used on “Governor Winthrop desks”, mahogany dining room furniture and bedroom sets.
These well made drawer pulls are solid brass. The aged finish imparts the look of old brass. The antique finish is hand applied and may vary from one to the next. This slight variations in color provides a natural and more authentic appearance. Posts and swan neck bail are permanently attached to backplate. These reproduction antique drawer pulls are an excellent choice for both 18th century and 20th century colonial revival furniture.
