Original built-in cabinetry
I have the original built-in cabinetry and drawers in the dressing area between the master and mistress bedrooms. The drawers are relatively unusable because they are difficult to open and close. There is no open/close mechanism. The drawers are inserted into a cutout in the cabinetry. Can you recommend a carpenter who can upgrade the drawers so that they are usable?

Sometimes they just swell and need to be planed down or you can try dry soap. There may not be a need for modern hardware. Don't forget people used draws this way for 300 years.

"Mistress bedroom"? That's the first time I've heard that. Cute. :)

I highly recommend a gentleman named Joseph Rene. He is a FANTASTIC carpenter who has done everything from building doors, putting in windows, and restoring original ceiling molding in my home. His number is 347-526-4627. Tell him Chris Montgomery from Decatur Street referred you.

A mistress bedroom? Does your wife mind?
