Chest Lifts and Trunk Hardware

Solid brass or iron chest lifts complement trunks and case pieces with style. Cast brass bails incorporate a stop which holds the bail at a convenient lifting angle, as in the original designs. Our chest lifts are based on antique patterns and most are either hand cast or hand forged. Drawer pulls are also available in complimentary patterns.
