Title
Post Medieval Furniture Fitting
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy post-medieval drop handle from a drawer pull. The object is sub-trapezoidal in plan and convex in section. The suspension loop is missing with a break at the constriction forming the neck of this furniture fitting. The terminal of the handle is arched at the top, where it has a constriction for the neck and below this flares outwards towards the bottom edge which is bifurcated with the two halves curving rearwards and outwards away from each other. The main field below the constriction features a raised triangular moulding with diagonal incisions, four along each side, reminiscent of a pine cone. The item has a mid brown-green patina. For a more complete example of a late Stuart drawer handle with the suspension loop intact please see: <a title="View details for DENO-871C31" href="http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/149849">DENO-871C31</a>. Also see Read 1988 ('History Beneath Our Feet') p162, no.1086. These handles are dated c. 1660-1710.
