Antique French Gilt Bracket in Original Condition

Antique French hand-carved and gilded wall bracket with a round void for holding a rod. Usually, one would expect a pair, however this single is well enough proportioned to do the work of two. Just mount this in the middle above a window, place a substantial rod through the hole, and voila! This would also be a great way to display clothing, for example a kimono - let your imagination run wild. You could also use it as a bracket for supporting a shelf, it would make an outrageous console in a entry hall. France circa 1860
