Did a google search on "ormolu" with over 16,000 returns. I checked for 5-6
pages, and Horton was the only supplier showing up. Not as popular as it used
to be, I guess.

Yep, and thanks for that link, Jack. They don't seem to have what I'm
looking for. I want the pieces that fit on chairs, like in this picture:

Maybe I could take some off some old beyond-help chairs, or go to an antique
dealer.

It wasn't Jack who gave you that link, it was Charlie. You might want to try
Van Dyke, www.vandykes.com, a restoration company. Also take a look at Lee
Valley's hardware catalog...www.leevalley.com.
