<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1442875, member: 6444"]I ran across this old drawer pull in a box of stuff I got recently. After reaching in and pulling this out, I decided it was worth taking the box home and sorting through it, and it was. I didn't find any more of these brasses, but a bunch of other interesting things. Anyway, most of the time brasses are firmly attached to furniture so they are difficult to see how they were made. I thought these were worth posting a couple photos being loose. The pull is a Chippendale style period casting, probably late 18th century (late 1700's). I also included a pic of a keyhole cover, obviously not from the same piece. Not sure when that was made, gut feel could be Victorian or possibly earlier, so what do you think? Also cast its about twice the thickness of the Chippendale one, gilding gone from the front but still has gilding on the back.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]224433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224436[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224437[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
