<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 4290875, member: 6444&quot;]Although period appropriate, I think your piece had a different type of drawer pull than the wood ones on it currently. The witness marks indicate that there were stamped brass pulls, rather than wood pulls which leave different witness marks. This pic of yours shows what I mean:</p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/20210814_172517-jpg.345152/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>And the type of pull that was used originally would have been more like the ones used here, at whatever size you measure. (This is assuming all the round pulls show similar witness marks - if only one, then it could have been a one-off temporary replacement). These were available in lots of different styles made of stamped sheet brass, some with floral decoration, objects or even people. Reproductions are readily available, but full sets of original pulls are hard to find and expensive, so you might want to keep the wood pulls you have since they are appropriate and look nice too.</p><p><img src="https://www.harpgallery.com/photos/cd/dres5-28-20cher1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.harpgallery.com/photos/cd/dres5-28-20cher18.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://robinsonsantiques.com/early-pulls/early-pull-8a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
