Metal and Brass details on wood?

[mark84]

Hi guys,
I'm wondering what these metal details are actually called on this wooden box, I've not been able to find them through guess work, I'd love to pick some up for my own projects.
Any advice would be great,
Cheers,
Mark.

They're chest straps, a bit fancier than the ones found at this link: http://www.restoration-materials.co.uk/ ... o.php?p=86 Your chest is probably some sort of military or campaign chest, and the link above takes you to the type of hardware used in those during the 1700s and 1800s, including such things as recessed fold down handles and corner braces. There are sure to be alternative suppliers, but a quick search brought this supplier up near the top of the list. Slainte.
