Hello All,
Long time Lurker, first time poster. I really like the wealth of information on the site and its been invaluable to enhancing my woodorking skills.
So heres my question: Im in the middle of making an Armoire, and Im looking for some large brass hinges, something like this:

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images.oneofakindantiques.com/6322_French_armoire_1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.oneofakindantiques.com/catalog/6322_french_loire_valley_cherry_double_door_armoir e_c_1760_1.htm&usg=__uMPlegqsy8MwsiOKif3pAW236ww=&h=640&w=431&sz=58&hl=en&start=9&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=bmL4F0y8b6W0bM:&tbnh=137&tbnw=92&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfrench%2Barmoire%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%2 6client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dcom.google:en-US:official%26tbs%3Disch:1

simply said, I cannot find anything out there that is this big. If anybody would have a lead on where I can find hinges this size, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Joe

A few minutes on google and I found these. there not as long as the ones in the link you posted but 2 on each door may work. http://www.hardwaresource.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=1708

To get hinges that are full length and the right length you would most likely have to find the hinges first and build the cabinet around them or have them custom made.

At least that would be my guess.

As Andrew stated... Google antique cabinet hardware.. etc. You will find a number of links. I usually use Van Dykes for most but there are many other sources and I usually shop prices by Google.
