Description: | A cast copper alloy furniture fitting, a drop handle for a small drawer, dating from 1690-1715. This fitting would have originally been gilded, although no trace of this survives. The fitting has an oblong loop for attachment to an escutcheon plate, the narrow neck widens out into a rectangulr plate with a splayed foot that curves back under itself at the foot. The foot ends terminate with rounded knops.The base of the object, just above the foot, has a V-shaped cut out, with scorded linear lines either side of the removal for decoration.
