[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4111774, member: 5066"]I would if it was mine & a period late 18th-century chest, it deserves correct pulls in any restoration. Plus, you've got Optimum Brasses right handy in Devon, all their brasses are taken/cloned from period pieces. They use the "lost wax casting" process to make exact copies/clones. Not real cheap but well worth it in my view, many restorers in the USA use them for period-correct furniture brass. Colonists in America were prohibited from the foundry biz so virtually ALL furniture brass was imported from the UK in 18th century America. Thankfully, we have Optimum to replace lost early furniture brass.:) [URL]https://optimumbrasses.co.uk/[/URL] [ATTACH=full]330496[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
