Furniture Hardware

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a wooden board displaying various metal hardware pieces. The board is light-colored, possibly made of wood with a grain pattern. It is rectangular and fills most of the image. The hardware pieces are arranged in rows and columns, with some gaps between them. There are over 50 pieces of hardware, including: - Drawer pulls - Door handles - Hinges - Latches - Knobs Each piece is made of metal and has a unique design, ranging from simple to ornate. Some pieces have a smooth finish, while others have a more textured or decorative appearance. The background of the image is white, with a thin black border around the edges. In the bottom-right corner, there is a small black plaque with illegible text. The overall atmosphere suggests a product display or catalog page for Furniture Hardware by an unknown artist.
