About the Item

Late 19th C Effigy of Mephistopheles on a bronze dresser tray. Leaning into the tray with a contemplative pose and conniving expression. Best known for his role in Faust. Caught in his own hell as an agent of Lucifer. Though an agent of Lucifer he warns Faustus of selling his soul and forsaking the later hope of entering heaven. This strong image reminds one of the more prudent choices in guiding ones life. A great desk accessory that will test the literary depth of your visitors.
