A dresser full of drawer pulls

A drawer pull is a handle to pull a drawer out of a chest or other furniture piece.

A drawer pull generally consists of a plate to which a handle is fastened. The handle may swing from one or two points, or it may be fastened to the plate with rivets, making it immovable. The plate may be ornamented by piercing or embossing, or both. The ornament may also be cut on the surface with tools, leaving it sunken into the metal. The stock for handles may be round, rectangular or irregular forged shapes. [1]
