Furniture Hardware

Henry Kellam Hancock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a collection of gold-colored metal hardware pieces, likely drawer pulls or other furniture fixtures. The pieces are arranged in three rows of four or three items. The top row has one large and two smaller pieces. The large piece is round with a concave center and decorative elements around the edge, including what appear to be leaves. The two smaller pieces on either side are knobs with ring handles, the left one shaped like an animal's head. The second row has one circular piece with a pin extending from the back, one round knob, one circular piece with a loop handle and a pin extending from the back, and one circular piece with a pin extending from the back. The bottom row has one small round knob, one loop handle with a pin extending from the back, and one curved piece with a pin extending from each end. The background is a plain surface that is white in the center and fades to gray at the top. The title of the image is "Furniture Hardware" and the artist is Henry Kellam Hancock.
