In summary, the person accidentally broke one of their cabinet handles and is looking for a replacement. They provided a picture of a non-broken handle and are having trouble finding an exact match, but have found two similar options: a Chippendale style drawer pull from House of Antique Hardware and a solid brass Chippendale drawer handle from Etsy.

I accidentally broke one of these handles. Here's a picture of a non-broken one. I'm looking to replace the broken one. Can anyone help me identify the handle or point me towards one that looks like it? It appears to be a bat wing style, I'm having difficulty finding the exact handle.
