   Thanks for the post. Although it is to be faux painted, it is to mimic an antique so I need something that is not so contemporary as Mockett. Any other help would be awesome.

   You might try Whitechapel. the following link has a few but you need to search areound the site or better yet get the catalog. The hardware in the catalog is shown full size and with excellent pictures and other information. They are not cheap but  the quality is excellent.

   L',

   You can try flush pull rings (see below), or standard drawer pull rings.  Both are available from numerous sources.  The ones pictured happen to be from Lee Valley.

       Hi lampe3d ,

                              Welcome to the world of custom woodwork and the school of hard knocks . O.K. there is not enough room in front of the drawers for the pulls you intended to use , can you make the stack of drawers shallower ? cut them down on the rear of the drawer  boxes and push whatever face may be present back also ? If not than there are other ways , have you ever seen an old treadle sewing machine that has the small drawers down each side ? Some had a recessed area in the center of the face with a small knob centered in them , perhaps you could with the use of a router and a cove type bit create a round recess and place a knob of brass or wood or whatever in the recess . Or how about a continuous pull along the top or bottom of each face that can be coved out on the backside to create a finger pull .

                 consider this an opportunity to learn and grow , if we don't make any mistakes we will learn less .

                    When I apprenticed we had a saying that has stuck with me to this day .

                        " How good you are is how good you fix your mistakes "

                                                       good luck        dusty

   With drawer fronts almost bumping the cover-door, I'd go for a sculpted cutout on the top edge of each, or a pierced/shaped hole in the upper 1/3 of the drawer-front.

   Everyone thanks for your help. I think the last two posts will help solve my problem/challenge.

   A long while back I used to see handles for trunks which folded out for use then flapped back down (in).  They looked like brass or iron.  Try looking for trunk hardware---.
