   If you want the best, go with White Chapel, the pictures in the catalogue are full scale, the customer service is superb, if you are a pro you get a 25% discount, the shipping is prompt, they even remember from one shipment to the next if you prefer slotted or Phillips screws ! http://www.whitechapel-ltd.com

   What kind of hardware do you have in mind?

   For reproduction furniture there are: 

   Ball & Ball.  High quality, with prices to match, they then to make accurate reproductions looking very much like the items would look when new.  Sometimes slow due to in ability to keep inventory on all the sku's they make, often just about one at a time.   

   Londonderry Brasses.  Also very high quality.  Very accurate reproductions, but looking more like the originals would look now. 

   Horton Brasses.  Very good, quality overlaps the other two, but doesn't average quite as high, in my opinion.  Prices are reasonable.

   Steve,I have used both Horton and B&B, but my local wholesaler will only order their stuff in quantity. Do you happen to know if either one will sell direct in small numbers -- say 5-6 draawer pulls, instead of 25 in a box?Thanks.********************************************************
