This set of 14 bronze drawer pulls probably comes from the sort of dresser or chest that used to be common in Japanese households. Their exact age is unknown, but they likely date to 50-100 years ago. They appear to be hand-forged, since t are several small variations in size and shape, particularly at the outer tips.

T is overall tarnishing and some touches of green oxidation, but all of it could be cleaned up without too much trouble. T is no significant damage, but all have minor of dings and light scratches. All of the anchors and anchor plates are fully intact. The pulls are all partially wrapped in now-deteriorating washi (Japanese paper) for an unknown purpose, but all of it could be easily removed.

Each measures about W2 5/8" (66mm) w the anchors meet the drawer, or about W3 7/16" (87mm) overall.
