Can anyone identify this?

Hello-
I recently acquired an antique sideboard hutch with these particular escutcheons and I need two more. I've searched ebay and some of the big places, but don't know how to narrow down my search. Can anyone tell me if these are antique, possible origin or era? There are no markings on the piece of furniture anywhere which leads me to believe it is handmade but no idea how old or where. Any help would be appreciated!

 

so would more pictures.........

 

Hello and welcome.

Finding an exact match will be difficult. This pair is being referred to as French Neoclassical. Don't know if that is appropriate or not, but they share some similarities with yours.

Pictures of the whole piece would definitely help. It is in pieces right now and it was missing the front support pillars (?). Any idea how to recreate those? I was thinking a cabinet shop might be able to build me something that would work?

 

If you're still referring to the escutcheons, a cabinet shop is probably not the best place to go to recreate them.
A small foundry shop could create a mould using one of your existing plates as a pattern, and then melt up some brass and pour a pair. It all depends on how much money you are willing to spend. Or look for a group of plates that share a similar style and replace them all.

 

Yep, they do this kind of thing regularly but, it's not cheap to do this kind of work & one can easily exceed the value of the piece in restoration costs.

 

Many cabinetmakers here in USA use optimum brass in UK for authentic 18th century cast brass furniture hardware. They use the "lost wax" casting technique & can reproduce/ make an exact copy if provided a model. Over the years i have used them for stock furniture hardware, really nice stuff.
