Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of furniture hardware by an unknown artist titled "Furniture Hardware". The image is a black and white photograph. It shows a wooden board with 63 metal door handles and knobs arranged in 8 rows of varying numbers of pieces. The board fills most of the image, with a white border around it. The board is light-colored wood with darker streaks. Most of the handles are made of metal and have a dark finish. The handles vary in shape and design, with some being ornate and others simple. Some handles have a central knob, while others have two knobs or a long bar. The handles are arranged in no apparent order. There is a small black plaque at the bottom right corner of the board. The background is white.
