Provenance
The serpentined and palm-wrapped wall-bracket, with its tripod stem of acanthus-wrapped and husk-festooned volutes springing from an acanthus-flowered plinth, relates to a sketch for a girandole wall-light of the early 1790s preserved in the archives of Gillows of London and Lancaster (see L. Boynton, Gillow Furniture Designs, Royston, 1995, fig. 210).
