Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black-and-white photograph of a display board titled "Furniture Hardware" by an unknown artist. The display board is made of light-colored wood with a grain pattern visible. The board is filled with numerous metal hardware pieces, including handles, knobs, and pulls, arranged in rows. The hardware pieces are made of metal and have various shapes, sizes, and designs, such as fleur-de-lis, scrollwork, and simple geometric shapes. Some pieces have a ornate or decorative design, while others are more plain. The hardware pieces are attached to the board using screws or nails. A small, dark-colored plaque is located at the bottom right corner of the board with illegible text. The background of the image is white, with a thin black border around the edges.
