I have a Century Furniture “Furniture of Distinction” burl olivewood credenza/dresser from the 1970s. When I bought it, the previous owner had already replaced the original hardware with their own (very ugly) knobs, which left some damage around the holes.

After a lot of research I finally tracked down what the piece is and what the original hardware looked like, which are circular recessed brass pulls that sit in a round hole in the drawe. Very minimal and clean looking and a lot nicer than what I eventually got to replace the ugly knobs they had on there, which I feel give it a grandma vibe.

The hole is 1.5 inches in diameter and about half an inch deep. There are two original screw holes inside the cup plus a center hole drilled by the previous owner, so I have some flexibility on attachment.

Two questions:

• Does anyone know exactly what these pulls are called or knkw manufacturer for the original Century hardware?

• Where would I could source either the originals or a close alternative?

I’m attaching photos of the dresser including a close-up of the hole with measurements. Any help appreciated! I feel it deserves to be brought back to its original glory.

I have a Century Furniture “Furniture of Distinction” burl olivewood credenza dresser from the 70s. The top used to have a really beautiful glossy finish.

Long story short I had to steam clean my entire bedroom (foster cat threw up worms, there were dusty kitty litter paw prints on top of the dresser), and I steamed every surface including the dresser top. Immediately after there was a white haze, which disappeared on its own over a few days/weeks. But now the top is noticeably more matte than it used to be.

From my research it sounds like the steam roughed up the lacquer surface. I’ve seen suggestions ranging from 0000 steel wool with linseed oil, to wax, to spraying a light coat of lacquer on top. But I don’t want to make it worse.

Has anyone dealt with this specifically on a vintage lacquer finish? What would you do?
