I have a antique dresser that has broken handle. Were I could get a replacement that would match the others?

Question

This dresser is at least 150 yrs old with mirror and detailed design on hardware only one handle is missing.

Answer 1

Do a search on eBay first, then call or go to an Antiquaries store/s, if you cannot find it, I would then suggest to replace all of them with new ones that have an antique look and finish to them.

Answer 2

Answer 3

you can check out a few antique shops, and maybe see if their is an iron shop around that maybe able to make a knock off of the original!!! or see what the local shops have that may be close to it as well!!!

You might want to ask at antique stores, salvage stores, that kind of place.  In our city, there's a street with several on it -- they have boxes and boxes of old handles, doorknobs, etc.

Answer 8

If you are concerned with keeping the antique status, the replacement also has to be antique. Same thing with refinishing; you have to use only hide glue, nothing modern.

Check with local antique/salvage shops. Chances of finding a match are slim but you might find a similar set and change them all out.

If you don't care about antique status, just go to a hardware store and pick out something you like.

Answer 9

home depot sells handles, you could try there

Answer 10

hello, I'm Kathleen. The answer to your question is that you could go either to an antique store and try to find a handle, because people do drop off different thing to those stores. a consiment shop has all kinds of antique things due to people dont know what is antique any more or if you cant find it their then you just might have to up grade the handles from lowes or home depot. they do have handles that look the antique stlye
