1 3/8'' (34.9 mm)

1 3/8 inch (34.9 mm) drill-center pulls for small drawers and traditional cup pulls

1 3/8 inch (34.9 mm) drill-center pulls cover a small, traditional-leaning spacing used by certain manufacturers for narrow cup pulls, bin pulls, and reproduction hardware. The 34.9 mm spec falls between the more common 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch sizes. It's less standardized but appears regularly in catalogs that draw on Victorian and Eastlake-era hardware patterns. Specifiers working on period restoration projects pull from this size more often than mainstream consumers.

Where this size fits

Narrow inset drawer fronts on Victorian and Eastlake reproduction cabinetry. Small bin pulls on built-in furniture pieces with period detail. Some traditional vanity drawer pulls. Drawer fronts roughly 5 to 9 inches wide where a small cup pull would feel right against an ornamented door. Apothecary-cabinet drawer banks in custom kitchens and herbalist-style pantry storage also use this size for the compact period read.

What hardware looks like here

Small cup pulls, bin pulls, and decorative pulls with detailed backplates. The catalog leans heavily toward traditional and period-reproduction styles, with finishes in antique brass, oil-rubbed bronze, antique copper, and other aged-metal tones. Modern bar pulls are essentially absent at this size. Many pulls in this catalog are produced in limited runs by specialty manufacturers focused on the restoration market.

Adjacent sizes worth comparing

Below is 1 1/4 inch (31.8 mm). Above is 1 1/2 inch (38.1 mm). For conventional drawer pull sizing, see 3 inch (76.2 mm). Confirming the exact spacing before ordering matters more at this size than at standard centers, since the catalog is small enough that a one-fraction error means searching a different page entirely. A steel rule reading center-to-center on the existing holes settles it.
