Anyone who's shopped for cabinet hardware
lately is aware of the vast differences in quality being offered. And
nothing spoils a beautiful old cabinet -- or well-crafted new casework
made from fine hardwoods -- more than cheap stamped metal hardware.
The well-trained eye quickly spots the shoddy imitations; and even the
novice can feel the difference once the hardware is in the hand.
Our List of Cabinet & Furniture Hardware suppliers is extracted
from recent issues of PERIOD HOMES magazine, and provides a good cross-section
of today's hardware market. You'll find several dealers who have
limited quantities of original antique cabinet hardware.
These dealers can especially useful if the project involves restoration,
and you don't want hardware that looks shiny brand-new. The only
problem with antique hardware, of course, is quantity: If you need 12
pairs of perfectly matching drawer pulls, you may be out of luck.
There are also suppliers of high-quality new reproduction hardware who can
provide any desired amount of standard-design or custom period
hardware for new construction or restoration projects.
