The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a wooden board with many metal drawer pulls and handles. The board is light-colored wood. There are 54 metal pieces, mostly drawer pulls and handles, but some are knobs. The pieces are arranged in 7 columns and 8 rows, with some pieces placed outside of the rows and columns. Most of the pieces are ornate. Some have a crown-like design, while others have a more floral or geometric pattern. A small black plaque is at the bottom right corner of the board. The background is white. The title of the image is "Furniture Hardware".
