Solid Brass Ring Pull – Authentic Period Antique Hardware
This was a wonderful fine – and a great match to our existing Door knbo sets in the Feathered pattern. We now have door knobs, entryway sets, door bells, push plates and now solid brass ”ring” cabinet pulls. This spectacular style of ring pull was salvaged from the kitchens of the Arrington Villas and rice plantation in Bali, Indonesia – pretty nice find.
Our acquisition specialists that went to Bali almost were not able to bring this piece back to the U.S., not because of customs issues, rather, because their truck was stolen with some of our best acquisitions still inside. Luckily, the truck and most of the contents inside were recovered except for their GPS system.
Our team made it home safely after that – along with quite a haul of brass workings such as this brass cabinet ring pull. With so many items of hardware from the one haul, one could decorate their entire home with these brass accessories. This ring pull could be used in any room in the house for any cabinetry or drawers. Different door knockers on every door inside the house might be a little extreme; however, it could definitely be done to add some interesting character to the house.
We are currently looking at other locations across the world that are holding on to unique and well crafted hardware so that we can recreate it for use in our home. It may be as far away as Bali Indonesia again next week or possible as close to home as Chicago, Illinois. You’d be surprised at what treasures are hidden in the nooks and crannies of the world. And our mantra is to save them – one piece at a time.
We currently have an acquisition team in the Hong Kong area – checking out Asian style hardware – and looking over a collection from a family member of a hotel owner. Some of our best items have been found as single pieces, but when you find a collection all together and kept in good condition, it can be a real find (and, of course, a lot of work). We are keeping our eyes and ears open to find you the best in custom hardware.
As always, thanks for reading – we appreciate it!
