Greetings from Down Under,
Does anyone know who supplies Stickley with their reproduction drawer & door pulls. I emailed them and they do not give out that information.
I have seen a multitude of sites that have el cheapos to the very expensive. My client is quite specific in that she wants what is depicted on the Stickley catalog on line.
Rockler & Van Dykes come close but no cigar.
Many thanks,
Steve

Steve ,
Try a Google search for Stickley reproduction hardware suppliers .
At a certain point some things are out of your circle of control , perhaps if the found goods are not close enough the client could do the leg work search and order the pulls themselves .

Hey Dusty,
When the client is paying good money they expect and deserve that the maker do the leg work.
I have looked at a lot of sites. In the vast network of woodies I thought surely someone in the ol'e 48 might know.
Thanks

Which handles and pulls?
When I ordered my Stickley furniture I had I think it was seven differant styles to pick from. The closest I've seen to the style I choose was in a British magazine..
I fear it's not very realistic to expect a major company to make public their parts sources. Even if you were to find out that Company X makes that hardware, most likely you'd not be able to order a dozen or so pieces. They're not in the business of selling a handfull of items to an individual.
If s/he expects a quality reproduction, s/he can also expect to pay handsomely for it, even if you were to pass it along at cost.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
Take a look at the catalogs from both Lee Valley and from White chapel.
Good luck.

Far as I know, they couldnt say its the real deal if it isnt . . .

I have been working on a pair of Stickley 802 sideboards and was researching hardware as well. I found all of the ones mentioned above. However here is one not mentioned: http://craftsmanplans.com/Hardware_4.htm
This is hand made authentic hardware. I was told that it takes a little time to get your order, but the quality is first rate.
Good luck!
