From the Apothecary to the Writing Desk
Cup or shell pulls became exceptionally popular in the late 17th and throughout the 18th century. They were originally used frequently on apothecary chests and library card catalogs because their cupped shape made it easy to pull open heavy, often-used drawers. At the same time, they provided the perfect spot for an identifying label.
Interestingly, in the era of craft guilds and master artisans, the quality and complexity of the casting on an item as small as a drawer pull was a direct reflection of the furniture maker's skill and the owner's wealth. A richly detailed pull like this would have signified a very high-quality and expensive piece of furniture in the past.
Installation and Care
Installation is quick and easy. You fasten the pull with two screws through the holes on either side. The matching screws are included in the package for your convenience. When installing in hardwood, we recommend drilling pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting.
Care for this pull is minimal. Cast iron and the oil-blackened finish are very durable. Wiping with a dry cloth is sufficient for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the surface patina. This pull is designed for opening drawers and cabinets, not for bearing weight.
