This is a rough of what I am looking for.
These metal items are used to stop the drawer from going back into the
dresser.
They are put in place with a hammer.

What are they called?

You might want to consider an alternative, such as

DRAWER STOPS, DOUBLE PRONGED

I saw them in Google Images.

Thanks for all the input.

You know, I've got that very same problem. Open a drawer, and have
to keep ahold of it, or it'll go right back into the dresser.

Not sure of the name. But, I've made plenty of these from small
hardwood scraps.

On "fine furniture"? .... Cheesy.

There are many other/better ways to do this on fine furniture, but more
details would be necessary. If not, disregard.

Something I've used with success is plumbing washers. The tapered ones. Put
in place with a screw through the middle hole. Gives a "soft" stop which
reduces shock on the drawer. The diameter can be varied a little by the
tightness of the screw for small adjustments.
