Furniture Hardware

Henry Kellam Hancock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a collection of 11 gold-colored metal pieces. The pieces vary in shape and size. There are circular pieces with a ring attached to the top, circular pieces with a small protrusion on top, and more complex designs featuring floral patterns and ridged details. Some pieces have a smooth surface, while others have a more textured appearance. The pieces are arranged in three rows of three to four pieces each. The background is a gradient of light blue to white. The title of the image is "Furniture Hardware" by Henry Kellam Hancock. The overall appearance suggests the pieces are hardware for furniture, possibly drawer pulls or cabinet handles.
