Drawer pulls from brass to crystal: A range of collection

By: Rory H. Hawkins

Drawer pulls too come in style. Apparently it is a simple handle used to pull and push the drawer. In fact they can be made of a wide range of materials in classical and antique styles, also with modern and sophisticated looks. The most elegant drawer pulls are made of glass and crystal where as the conventional ones are of decorated brass and engraved oak.

Brass drawer pulls: In exclusive styles both antique and common

Brass drawer pulls are hardy and stylish at the same time. The wonderful thing in a brass drawer pull is that it shines with age. The more you make use of it, the better the gloss and the feel at touch. If you want a real antique brass drawer pull, the hand chased brass is magnificent. This type of brass was in vogue during the eighteenth century but even today the most elegant home décor would love to hold it.

The chasing on brass was exclusively done by the artist manually where a design was stamped on the brass plate. The design was also graphed by the artist. Though many new techniques have come in, still this type of chased brass drawer pulls are made by maintaining the traditional conventions. The chased brass drawer pulls are available at around $9.50.

Well if you want a simpler drawer pull made of brass, the Rosette drawer pulls are perfect. They are stunning in the most simple designs and natural color tones. These drawer pulls have brass bails and round shaped back plates on which the bails are fixed. The price range varies from $6.75 and $8.00 more or less.

Crystal drawer pulls: Slick, stylish and with a smarter getup

What makes crystal so crispy and solid? After all the basic material is glass. Crystal drawer pulls have cutting edges that give a better refraction quality and due to a high content of lead present in it, the material is stronger with a better wear and tear and also heavier than ordinary glass. Even if the drawer or the cabinet is placed in a corner of the room, the crystal will reflect rays throughout the space.

The latest trend of crystal drawer pulls is mostly in the hexagonal shape. The conventional round or oval shape is passé. The width of such drawer pulls are mostly 4” and the central grip is 3”. The price range swings between $12 and $13.

When you really plan for the ultimate setting of drawer pulls, use the brass models for such drawers and doors which are more in use. Those exclusive for show purpose and not frequently pulled can be designed with crystal drawer pulls.
