Furniture Hardware by Henry Kellam Hancock. The image shows a collection of 13 gold-colored metal furniture hardware pieces. The pieces are arranged on a light blue background, with some overlapping the edges. Most pieces are circular, with some having a floral design and others featuring geometric patterns. Some pieces have a raised center, while others are flat. Two pieces have two holes on either side, likely for screws. The pieces vary in size, with the largest in the center and the smallest on the left side. The largest piece has a decorative edge and a raised center. Smaller pieces are scattered around the larger ones. The background is a solid light blue color.
