: I have a sideboard from the late 1800's with very beautiful bow front drawers
: and one of the pulls are missing as well as the two handles for the bottom
: cabinet doors. It's a real nice piece that deserves some type of
: refurbishing. They are brass. The fixed pull is a round brass fixture.
: Very ornate and the two swinging handles were also brass, so says the
: memory of a very old woman. She says she may still have them.

I got the names of a few companies which do brass castings for restorations from:

Since you have one of the original drawer pulls it can be used to make a sand mold, or a plaster mold from which a new drawer pull can be cast. If you have a torch to melt the brass you cna do this yourself, or you can turn it over to a foundry such as one of those I've lsited below. heck the website for more possibilities. You may also find someone in your area by checking the local yellow pages under metal casting or foundries.

Good luck with your project.
