Help me find these retro drawer/cabinet pulls

November 16, 2014 5:50 AM

I scored some nifty retro 60's or 70's kitchen cabinets and have been trying to find similar handles for my over sink dish drainer cabinet doors.

My searches have turned up many groovy retro pulls, but nada with this right angle profile. There's no identifying marks or labels left in the cabinets, unfortunately. All I can tell you is that they are white Formica cabinets with mustard yellow fronts, from the 60's or 70's and in all probability of Italian production.

I've found simple handles at Ikea that will do in a pinch, but I thought I'd throw it out to the collective AskMe savvy before admitting defeat.

If you have a craftsman in town, perhaps you could get some fabricated? It won't be cheap but it will be pretty awesome!

There is/was a specialist retro furniture designer in Glasgow... (esp 60's/70's style stuff I believe).. you probably have one closer to home but I suspect there aren't too many about. Might be worth trying to find?

Liz's Antique Hardware has a matching service. They aren't cheap, though.

Find a local machine shop and ask them to make some extras from a sample your bring in. A local machine shop was able to make me enough replacements for some antique handle pulls and they matched perfectly. This was much cheaper and easier than searching for them.

Did you check Rejuvenation hardware's page?
