<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkwing Manor, post: 3667050, member: 738&quot;]I agree, it&#039;s a one-off, not a factory piece. If that commercially-made cast-metal latch is original, you&#039;re looking at the Aesthetic Movement subset of the so-called Eastlake style. That would explain the diamond shaped side bands. Have a look here and you can see the typical truncated geometry of the style. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/carpelibrum/aesthetic-movementeastlake/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pinterest.com/carpelibrum/aesthetic-movementeastlake/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/carpelibrum/aesthetic-movementeastlake/</a></p><p>It was initially inspired by the 19th century fascination with the newly rediscovered forms of Japanese decorative arts that came in after 1854, when Commodore Perry sailed back to Japan to pick up his paperwork. The original drawer knobs would have echoed that style as well, with a hexagonal-shaped back plate, from the looks of the ghosts carved into the wood. Try searches for aesthetic movement&nbsp; and Eastlake hardware on Etsy or eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
