HI Folks,
I haven't had the need for brass pulls in quite awhile! I'm building a secretary and called Horton and Ball&Ball to check for appropriate Chippendale pulls and other hardware. To my surprise, neither are producing stamped pulls and plates. Horton is selling the cast hardware that Londonderry had sold before they went out of business. I have used some of their pulls in the past, and have to say they were outstanding quality. The cost, however, was and is, high end. Ball and Ball no longer produce stamped pulls either. The cost of brass sheet has apparently risen to the point where it isn't profitable.
While I would love to use the Londonderry stock, it is sometimes too expensive for every piece. What is everyone doing now for a less expensive alternate to the cast pulls? Are there other suppliers with decent quality at a lower price?
I guess the times, they are a-changin'
