| Description |
English: A damaged and incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy furniture fitting called a drop handle, used as a drawer pull, c. 1660-1710 AD. The object is sub-trapezoidal in shape, with a constriction below an elaborate sub-square suspension loop. At the other thick, curling end the handle is bifurcated with a rearward lug scrolling to one side; the other has broken at the point it splits. The main field below the constriction features a raised triangular moulding with diagonal incisions, two along each side. The constriction is formed of a semicircular cusp to each side. The loop is recessed with a rectangular perforation. The object would have originally attached at the hanger end to form the handle of a drawer or cupboard. It measures 36.94mm long, 16.86mm width, 4.14mm thick and weighing 9.4 grams.
An example of such a later Stuart drawer-pull can be found illustrated in Read (1995, 162; ref. 1086). For a complete example from the PAS database cf: HAMP-059D41. This piece has corroded to areas of mottled reddish-brown and medium green colours. It is possible that the reddish-brown areas could be iron corrosion but this is unclear. |
