The image shows a collection of metal hardware pieces arranged on a light blue surface. The title is "Furniture Hardware by Henry Kellam Hancock". The collection consists of 13 pieces of brass and bronze hardware. A long, thin, straight piece with a hole at one end is on the far left. To its right is a small octagonal piece with a latch and a curved piece resembling a hinge. Above these are two curved pieces, one larger than the other, both with holes at each end. In the center of the image are three more pieces: a small handle, a larger handle with a decorative center, and a piece with a flat base and two arms extending upwards. Below these are three more pieces: two small brackets and a larger piece with a flat base and two arms extending upwards. On the far right is a long, thin piece with a screw thread at the bottom and a hook at the top. The background is a light blue surface, possibly a table or countertop.
