Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a wooden board displaying a variety of small, ornate, metal furniture hardware pieces. The board is made of light-colored wood, possibly pine. The hardware includes various drawer pulls, cabinet handles, doorknobs, and other knobs. The pieces are arranged in no apparent order. The pieces are metallic, likely brass or bronze, exhibiting varying shapes, sizes, and designs. Some pieces feature ornate details while others are relatively plain. The board fills most of the image, with a white border surrounding it. A small, black plaque with illegible text is located at the bottom right of the board.
