In the 18th and 19th centuries there was a growing fascination with the occult, especially the mysteries concerning the devil. They weren't just fashionable for Halloween but became popular in literature, theater and art as spiritualism and belief in magic became part of the British and American cultures. Satan was seen on decorative items such as bowls, wall sconces, candleholders and art. These cast iron devil candlesticks are hand polychromed and feature the legs of a rooster, crown-like horns, and evil faces. The devil is known to be deceptive and these creatures literally are "two-faced" with one on each side of the piece. The cast iron pair is a curious relic of Victorian times and will surely give your guests something to talk about.
