What Is a Chippendale Bail Pull?

A Chippendale bail pull is a decorative furniture drawer pull associated with the elegant designs of the Chippendale period. A bail consists of a movable drop handle suspended from two mounting points, often combined with a decorative backplate.

Chippendale-style pulls are commonly used on antique desks, bureaus, chests, dressers and other traditional furniture. Their decorative appearance makes them especially popular for antique furniture restoration and reproduction furniture projects.

When replacing an existing pull, the most important measurement is the center-to-center bore measurement between the mounting holes. Matching this measurement helps ensure that the replacement hardware fits the existing holes without requiring additional modification to the furniture.
