Matching Furniture Handles | If replacing drawer handles, check distance between holes |
Hepplewhite Furniture Handles have a distinct embossed Urn & Festoon pattern. Originating in England during the end of the 1800's., these drawer pulls crossed the Atlantic to become popular in America. 2-1/2" boring is a typical Federal furniture handle size.
Hepplewhite furniture handles are made of brass. They have a living finish which is polished but will age over time. Backplates are stamped in accordance with period techniques. This elegant design adds distinct character to Federal furniture.
