The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of the artwork "Furniture Hardware" by an unknown artist. The image shows a wooden board covered with various metal hardware pieces. The board fills most of the image and has a light-colored wood grain. There are approximately 6 columns and 10 rows of metal pieces. The pieces are mostly drawer pulls and door handles. They come in various shapes, including oval, round, and ornate designs. Some pieces have a knob-like shape, while others have a more elongated handle. The metal pieces are all different sizes and have a similar dark finish. They appear to be made of a dark metal, possibly bronze or brass. The board has a few small holes and a small plaque at the bottom right corner. The background of the image is white.
