Furniture Hardware

Henry Kellam Hancock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a collection of gold-colored metal pieces, likely furniture hardware, arranged on a white surface. The image features 11 gold-colored metal pieces, including knobs, handles, and other hardware components. One piece resembles a lion's head with a ring in its mouth. Another piece appears to be a round knob with a decorative edge. A large, ornate piece is positioned at the top center. Two rows of pieces are below, with one row having four pieces and the other having three. Some pieces have a circular shape, while others are more complex. The background is a plain white surface with a subtle shadow cast by the pieces. The overall appearance suggests a product photo or display of antique or decorative furniture hardware by Henry Kellam Hancock.
