An old near pair of mid-17th century figurative architectural brackets of Northern European origin, now fitted with hooks and repurposed as wall decoration.
Each bracket depicts the head and torso of a figure with thick locks of hair, wearing a collared tunic with a belt at the waist. Handcarved in fruitwood, these brackets date back to the Stuart era (1603-1714) and offer a glimpse into the fine craftsmanship of the period.
