The carved brackets with their Apollo griffin-guarded altars reflect the George III Roman fashion popularised by R. and J. Adam in their Works in Architecture, 1773-9, while Hepplewhite's Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, 1788 (pl.114) illustrates a related girandole pattern with oval foliage-wreathed mirror. A related laurel-wreathed girandole, dated to the mid 1770s is illustrated C. Musgrave, Adam and Hepplewhite Furniture, 1996, fig 162.
