Small Hepplewhite Furniture Handles have a popular neo-classic design. Oval shape backplate displays the Urn & Festoon pattern. 2" boring size fits many smaller dresser drawers of the Federal era.
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.
