<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 203965, member: 56"]I think the handles are upside down. The idea is that if the handle is going to flop, it should hit its metal back plate rather than the wood. (There's a specific name for that back plate, but darned if I can think what it is.) They look to me to be circa 1900 (easily wrong). Are there filled holes on the inside of the drawer face to show where other handles might have been attached?</p><p><br /></p><p>It's a handsome piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
