Furniture Hardware by Henry Kellam Hancock. The image shows a collection of 13 gold-colored metal pieces. The pieces are arranged on a light blue background. They are mostly circular with intricate designs and patterns. Some have a raised center, while others have a recessed center. A few pieces have two holes for screws. The pieces vary in size, with the largest in the center. They have ornate details, including flowers, leaves, and scrollwork. The metal is shiny and reflective, with a golden color. The background is a solid light blue color. The pieces cast shadows on the background. Some pieces are similar in design, but with variations. The overall arrangement is random, with no discernible pattern.
