My only info to date on drawer slips has been current writings. Apparently there were two basic types, "flush" approx 3/4" x 3/4" and "quadrant" that was taller than it was wide, with the inside upper corner coved, beveled, or rounded over. (Don't know if "quadrant" applied to all three edge treatments or just the latter.) But again that was from recent sources.
I can't recall seeing any pictures of antique drawers with slips and I don't have any heritage woodworking texts that might describe their design and use. Can anyone provide some historical info to satisfy my curiosity? Thanks.
