The image depicts a collection of six metal furniture hardware pieces. There are two short, vertical pieces on the left and right sides, each featuring a series of small, round metal loops connected by a metal bar. In the top center, two rounded square pieces are shown. The left piece features two figures, a woman and a child; the woman sitting on a rock, her right arm around the child who stands in front of her. The right piece features two figures, a woman and a man; the woman standing on the right with her right hand on the man's right shoulder. Below these are three longer pieces. The center piece features a design with two swans on either side of a flower arrangement. The bottom left piece features a man sitting on a rock; he holds an object in his right hand. The bottom right piece features a woman sitting on a rock; she holds an object in her right hand. All pieces are gold-colored and have a decorative, ornate design. The background is light blue.
