Drawer pull

[1][2] A drawer pull often includes an escutcheon plate to (or through) which the handle is fastened.

The plate may be ornamented by piercing, embossing, or engraving, and may receive decorative finishes such as plating, etching, and antiquing.

Handle stock may be round, rectangular, or irregular forged shapes.

[3] Drawer pulls may also be in one piece, either a handle only, typically U-shaped or a form of knob, or a plate shaped into a grip.

[2] Cup, shell, and bin styles are popular versions of the latter, with or without an integral backing plate.
