Upgrade or restore your cherished Gerstner chest with the Gerstner Brown Leather Top Handle with Brass Brackets. Designed with durability and craftsmanship in mind, this replacement handle combines traditional styling with reliable strength, making it the perfect choice for repairing or updating older chests that require a top handle.

Hand-Stitched Brown Leather

Each handle is hand-stitched using premium brown leather. The leather offers a timeless look that pairs beautifully with Gerstner’s wood-exterior chests. Its natural texture and finish add a touch of authenticity to your restoration project.

Steel-Reinforced Stability

Inside the handle, a sturdy steel tube provides extra reinforcement. This design ensures long-lasting stability and prevents sagging, even under the weight of a fully loaded chest. It’s a small but essential detail that keeps your Gerstner chest functional for years to come.
