Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of furniture hardware on a wooden board. The board is light-colored wood with a grainy texture. There are 50+ metal handles and knobs arranged in rows and columns. Handles and knobs are various shapes, including ornate and simple designs. Most are made of metal, possibly brass or bronze, with a dark patina. Some handles have a base that screws into the board. A small, rectangular plaque with illegible text is at the bottom right. The photo has a white border around it. The title of the image is "Furniture Hardware" and the artist is unknown.
