Drawer Pull

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The crystal drawer pull by Baccarat. The crystal drawer pull has a circular shape with a faceted surface. The faceted surface is textured and made up of many small, angled planes that reflect light. A smaller circular depression is in the center, with a smaller circular hole in the center. A cylindrical piece of crystal protrudes from the right side. The cylindrical piece is attached to a small black piece. The background is white with a gradient that darkens at the top.
