The design of these rare corner brackets is inspired by a set of six supplied for the vestibule of the new Mansion House in the City of London in 1752 by the carver John Gilbert (1742-1784), after a design by the architect George Dance the Elder (Sally Jeffery, The Mansion House, London 1993, p. 175 fig. 146) .
