DescriptionEssentially vertical wall bracket, (#1 is a mirror image of #2) composed of a series of molded "C" scrolls with intertwined cattails and leafage supporting four small stands, three on one side, one on the other side; three stands are oval and one is hexagonal; whole surmounted by a single dripping stand with a pagoda cresting above.
Label TextExecuted with grace, good proportions, and a touch of a master carver, these brackets display the fluid qualities which are possible in the rococo style.
