Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Furniture Hardware" by an unknown artist shows a black and white photograph of a wooden board displaying various metal hardware pieces. The board is made of light-colored wood with a grain pattern. The hardware pieces are arranged in rows and columns. Most of the pieces are knobs and handles. The pieces are made of metal and have a dark finish. The shapes and designs of the pieces vary, with some being symmetrical and others asymmetrical. Some pieces have ornate details, while others are more simple. The background of the image is white, with a thin black line bordering the photograph. A small, illegible black label is located at the bottom right corner of the board.
