Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a collection of metal furniture hardware on a wooden background titled "Furniture Hardware" by an unknown artist. The image is a black and white photograph showing around 50 metal drawer pulls and handles. The hardware is arranged in rows on a wooden panel. The hardware is made of metal and features various designs, including ornate and simple shapes. The shapes include fleur-de-lis, scrolls, circles, ovals, and crowns. Some of the hardware has a decorative backplate, while others do not. The hardware is attached to the wooden panel with screws. The wooden panel fills most of the image and has a light-colored wood grain. A small, black plaque is in the bottom-right corner of the panel with illegible text. The image has a white border around it.
