Hi All-
Looking for an assist on a couple of Bassett side tables I recently purchased at a local thrift. They are clearly marked/branded "Basset Furniture Industries, Inc." inside the drawers, so the manufacturer is clear. What I'm looking for specifically is to which furniture group do the tables belong. I have found a couple of additional pieces online that share the same design elements (square legs, mid-underside supports, exposed squared leg tops, inset table top, etc.), of which only one indicated a possible group, which was Artisan.
I have been doing some (extensive) research of the Artisan Group from the same period at Bassett, and it's just not a match. The Artisan Group has far more of a "spindly" look about the pieces, the biggest difference being that instead of square legs, all the legs are turned/round versus the square legs of my tables. I have found some scans of original Basset Brochures for the Artisan Group, none of which show any of the squared features, but instead/as expected all have the round/turned legs.
With the above said- I have NOT been able to find a single Bassett Brochure featuring the group to which these tables, and further, every other example of the furniture I've found for sale online indicates them as "Bassett MCM" only. Any clues?
The reason I'm looking for the specific group is because the pair I bought are missing the original drawer pulls. I hope to locate a reseller of original hardware, but I feel my search for the pulls will be nearly impossible (or at the very least far more difficult) without the benefit of knowing the actual Bassett group to which these tables belong.
The three photos I've included are a photo of one from the pair of tables I purchased, a photo of the stencil from the underside of the table, and a photo example of the same table with the original drawer pull.
Thanks everyone!

Sometimes the most straightforward approach is often overlooked:
https://www.bassettfurniture.com/customer-service/contact.asp
They also reference a company in their FAQ section for replacement pulls and hardware.
Good luck.
