Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows "Furniture Hardware" by an unknown artist. The image is a black and white photograph of a wooden board with various metal drawer pulls and handles. The board is light-colored wood and fills most of the image. The drawer pulls and handles are arranged in rows and columns. They are all made of metal and have different shapes, sizes and designs. Some are ornate with intricate details, while others are simpler. The handles are mostly made of one piece of metal while some are made of multiple pieces. The handles have different types of grips, such as knobs, pulls, and lever handles. The background of the image is white, and there is a small black plaque at the bottom right corner of the board with illegible text.
