Matching Hardware | If replacing drawer handles, check distance between holes |
This period furniture handle was a favorite style from the late 18th century. The familiar maple leaf pattern backplate is indicative of the bold shape backplates Chippendale used on his furniture.
The 20th century colonial revival period brought these period furniture handles back into the mainstream. They were used on chests, bureaus, bedroom sets, dining room furniture and Governor Winthrop desks.
