restoring old pedestal desk - Trim

[leslierogers]

Hi, I am a complete novice, trying to make an old desk look nice for my office. It is a pedestal desk, and all the drawers have a thin wood edging, I think it may be called beading. Some of this is missing, but I don't know what to search for or where to find it. On the sides and back, most of the corner pieces of this trim is missing. I have one piece, and it is plastic!! I have searched for mouldings, but no luck. Can anybody help me please with the correct term for it or better still, where I can buy it from?? Thank you

Why not remove the lot and replace with some molding that you can get from your local DIY shop it does not have to be identical.

Thanks Tim, I hadn't even thought of that!! Its the corner pieces I am also struggling with, and can only find long strips in DIY stores. Thanks for the tip though.
