Furniture Hardware

Henry Kellam Hancock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-colored metal hardware pieces on a gray background. Eight pieces are arranged. Top row, left to right: a round piece with a shell-like design and five feet; a short, thick cylinder on a square base; a wall-mounted candle or sconce holder. Middle row, left to right: two small figurines of people working; a thick ring; a circular piece with a floral design. Bottom: an elongated piece with a floral design. All pieces appear to be made of brass or gold-plated metal. They are ornate and appear to be for furniture. The image is likely titled "Furniture Hardware" by Henry Kellam Hancock.
