Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a wooden board displaying numerous pieces of furniture hardware. The board is light-colored wood with a grain visible. The hardware is arranged in rows and columns. There are 60+ pieces of hardware, mostly drawer pulls and cabinet handles. The hardware is made of metal, primarily in a dark finish. Shapes include fleur-de-lis, crowns, scrollwork, and geometric designs. Some pieces have a knob or grip, while others have a lever or handle. A small plaque is at the bottom right of the board with illegible text. The board fills most of the frame, with a white border around it.
