Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of metal furniture hardware on a wooden board. The board is light-colored wood with darker streaks. There are 54 metal pieces, mostly handles and knobs, arranged in 7 columns and 8 rows, with some pieces smaller than others. The pieces are all different shapes and designs, with ornate details. Some have a crown-like shape, while others are more abstract. Most are attached to the board, but a few are lying flat. A small black plaque is in the bottom-right corner of the board. The photo has a white border. Title: Furniture Hardware. Artist unidentified.
