These are Colonial Revival Chippendale style antique brass plated drawer pulls. Thomas Chippendale (17181779) was born in Otley in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England in 1718. He became a cabinet-maker in London, designing furniture in the mid-Georgian, English Rococo, and Neoclassical styles. In 1754 he published a book of his designs, titled "The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director", upon which success he became renowned. The designs are regarded as representing the current British fashion for furniture of that period. The popularity of the style resurfaced in the United States in the early twentieth century through the 1930's, with middle-class Americans finding a renewed interest in their Colonial roots. The furniture is notable for the clean lines and deep cherry and mahogany finishes.
