The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a wooden board displaying various metal handles and knobs. The rectangular board has a light wood grain background oriented vertically. The board is filled with at least 50 metal pieces arranged in 8 rows and 7-8 columns. Handles and knobs are mostly made of metal and have a similar dark color. Shapes of the pieces vary greatly and include fleur-de-lis, crown-like shapes, ovals, circles, and more. Some pieces resemble flowers or leaves. There are small screws visible on the board. A small black plaque is at the bottom right corner. The image has a white border around it. Title: Furniture Hardware. Artist unknown.
