‘The Museum purchased this bracket several years after acquiring the celebrated housefront built by Sir Paul Pindar with which it was associated. It came from a collection of London antiquities, but it is likely that originally it formed part of the spectacular chimney-piece in the main room on the first floor, directly under a richly moulded plaster ceiling. There are similar, larger, carved brackets on the front of the house, flanking the windows.’ ~ https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O113911/bracket-unknown/
