The glazed and mirrored 'sconce' relates to gothic cusp-arched patterns for 'Lanthorns for Halls or Staircases' published in Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 3rd ed. 1762 (pl. 152); while its fretted-ribbon bracket also relates to patterns in John Mayhew and William Ince's, Universal System of Household Furniture, 1762, and patterns attributed to them in The London Society of Upholsterers Genteel Household Furniture in the Present Taste, 2nd ed. circa 1765, pl. 90.
