NICE SET of SIX ORIGINAL 1930s BAKELITE DRAWER HANDLES
LOVELY MARBLED BUTTERSCOTCH COLOUR BAKELITE DIAMOND SHAPED THUMB BUTTONS MOUNTED ON BLACK METAL BRIDGE, STYLISH 30s ART DECO DESIGN.
GREAT FOR ANYONE RESTORING A SET OF DRAWERS. ADD THAT AUTHENTIC FINISHING TOUCH.
THESE DATE TO THE 1930s or POSSIBLY 1950s... RARE TO FIND A COMPLETE SET.
THE HANDLES HAVE SURVIVED THE TEST OF TIME WITH NO NASTY DAMAGE. THESE ARE COMPLETE WITH ALL ORIGINAL FIXING NUTS (BRITISH IMPERIAL SIZE). PLEASE NOTE: ONE HANDLE IS MISSING IT'S TWO DOMED METAL WASHERS. COULD BE SUBSTITUTED WITH SMALL PLAIN WASHERS...
NO MAKERS MARK OR NAME BUT DEFINITELY VINTAGE 30s / 50s BY STYLE AND DESIGN. THEY ARE OF BRITISH ORIGIN AND WERE SALVAGED FROM A CARPENTRY WORKSHOP. I INHERITED A BOX FULL OF DRAWER HANDLE SETS AMONGST SAWDUST AND WOOD SHAVINGS!! I HAVE OTHER SETS LISTED THIS WEEK AND WILL BE LISTING MORE IN DUE COURSE.
THESE HANDLES WERE STORED IN A SEALED BAG SO ARE IN VERY GOOD CLEAN CONDITION AS SEEN IN PHOTOS. THEY HAVE BEEN RE-PAINTED AT SOME TIME SO THE BLACK FINISH IS NOT ORIGINAL. THEY LOOK SMART.
ONE OF THE BAKELITE BUTTONS HAS DETERIORATED SLIGHTLY AT ONE END - SEE LAST PHOTO.
I WOULD SIMPLY USE THIS AS A BOTTOM HANDLE, IT WON'T BE OBVIOUS.
