Federal Style Drawer Pulls
| Handle Size
Matching Handles for Drawers | If replacing drawer handles, check distance between holes |
Antique Hepplewhite Brasses are striking. This cheerful starburst design was a favorite Federal era symbol. Use on Hepplewhite chests, dressers and bureaus. 2-1/2" centers are sized to fit many furniture pieces of this time period.
These drawer pulls are brass. They are reproduced to look like original late 18th century handles. Backplate is stamped with embossed starburst design. The antique finish is darkened to look old.
Attaching Hepplewhite Pulls
- Posts, bail and backplate are separate, assemble when mounting.
- Insert one post into backplate and position on drawer front. Insert screw, from drawer interior, through mounting hole and screw into back of post (do-not tighten).
- Insert bail in mounted post, add second post to other end of bail, insert second post through backplate, continue as before.
- Once together and in place, tighten screws.
- Thread size of machine screws is generally 8-32. Length supplied is determined by manufacturer. While supplied screw length is generally useful, occasionally a different size is required. Please let us know if you need a specific length. To determine the correct size: measure wood thickness and add 1/4".
