Post picture please.

I would guess that once you remove the original hardware, you will find that it has left a mark underneath which will be difficult to hide. I think it's really nice as is.

We have one of these dressers. It was an Uncle’s, he got it as a wedding gift in 1972. You will never find hardware to fit the original hole spacing. And there most definitely will be marks where the old sat. I painted mine, so I was able to fill in the holes. It will never be a beauty, it’s large and chunky. But it’s abound as solid as you can get!

i love your dresser as is.

I love the chippendale pulls...I bought four at a yard sale and made two

bedroom end tables with those pulls. The dresser and hardware are lovely.

I would leave it as is. It’s a lovely piece of furniture.
