[QUOTE="memobug, post: 561446, member: 4689"]I found four of these porcelain and brass drawer pulls at a local benefit store. They were individually mounted on velvet in small frames. The porcelain insets are about 1.3” (33mm) in diameter. The scenes appear to be hand painted under a clear glaze, but I will have to get a magnified view. The castings look very nicely detailed too. The circular surround is hinged at the top like a door knocker. I don’t think the black velvet and wood frames are very flattering, so I’d be interested in your suggestions for alternate display options. The 2x2 is a composite image.
