<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1735838, member: 6444&quot;]Agree with everyone american oak ca 1900. Usually you can find some vestigial outline of the original pulls if you remove the ones that are there now and check for an outline at every location. If you don&#039;t see any outline to indicate what you had, I&#039;ll make a different suggestion based on a piece that I once owned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine was very similar construction but unlike yours with the unusual door, mine had all graduated full-width drawers, except for three very shallow ones on the top. It was a purchase back when I was first buying old furniture, and was missing one drawer pull plus it had been badly refinished, so it had some remaining paint and drawers were sticking. By the time I would have worked on it my interests had moved on to older furniture, but I liked the design so I kept it as a project in my basement for decades (moving it from one basement to another when we moved).</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple years ago I finally decided I needed to do something with it, so made a replacement pull to match the ones I had using some scrap oak. That only took a few minutes, but repairing, gluing and refinishing it to make it right would have taken hours, so I finally moved it out and put it on the street in front of my house, all drawer pulls included, and it was gone within a few hours. (I have found that although brown furniture has &quot;no value&quot; to most people, that if you put old furniture in front of your house that there are a lot of people who are interested in it for free. I am taking full advantage of this as I am sorting through the things I&#039;ve collected - put out five 19th century unmarked Hitchcock factory chairs needing replacement rush last week and they were gone almost immediately. But I bet I couldn&#039;t have sold them for $20 for the set at a yardsale).</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have a picture, but the drawer pulls were period correct, and would look good on your piece I think (you could leave the three single hole wood pulls as they are). Pulls looked a lot like this:</p><p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1219/9750/products/Orange_LA_1stDibs_101519_024_master_1024x1024.jpg?v=1572247272" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
